Being 196 centimeters tall, it always pains me to see bikes at a good price that I'd love to buy/ride, but they are way too small. Two months ago, I saw a Facebook posting for a Bridgestone NJS for $80 (the lady clearly had no idea what it was), but the frame was size 52cm, so I didn't buy it 😢
I don’t know where are you from but in Japan you can find NJS bikes really cheap, big frames are a bit rare but for example you can buy plane ticket and the bike for the price of some NJS bikes that are selling outside of Japan.
@fixiecorner I live in Canada, and we have some of the highest airfare rates in the world. The cheapest flight to Japan is about $1400 and to get something shipped from NJS Exports it will probably cost about the same. While I am a fan of steel frames there are plenty of great options other than NJS stuff.
@@the6ig6adwolf okay, that’s a lot, in Austria sometimes you can buy round trip ticket to Japan for around 500$. Yes, of course, there are many other nice frames such as this one. 😃
Waiting patiently for the video.
It’s coming on Saturday and this is just a first video, many more are coming with this bike. 😃
Proper track bike fork clearance!
I thought the stripped paint was the original paint: I like it!
Original color is black, under this green-white is a black.
But more about it in next video of this bike.
