NJS Mondays: Why NJS?

“The (Keirin) frames, no matter what brand, are always of the highest quality. When you’re thinking about a used keirin frame, think about everything that went into it. The racer orders the frame according to his personal preferences, ones that he’s developed after racing for up to 30 years. Even with that status he will pay anywhere from $1000 to $2500 for a frame. There are no sponsorships in keirin racing. He chooses the frame tubing (now usually Kasei or Columbus), lugs, and paint, too. After that he waits, weeks or months for the builder to finish.” - Keirinculture.com via fixedgearbikes

NJS Mondays : Dex's Anchor has arrived

 

 

Dex's Blue Bridgestone Anchor 55cm has arrived in Davao City for his NJS build.  He installed a Nitto B123 Cr-Mo and Nitto Pearl 9 cockpit, held in place by a Hatta Swan Super Deluxe NJS headset. 

Wheel build is a Dura Ace 7600 HF track hubs laced with Hoshi DB spokes on Araya CTL-385 rims in front and an Araya 20A on the rear, wrapped with Vittoria Randonneur 700x25c on the front and 28c on the rear. It also has a NJS-stamped MKS chain tugs which were also imported from Japan.

Dex said that it's a work in progress and hoping to complete this NJS in the near future. Watch out for the complete bike check of this track monster. Have a great week!
