I got a great deal on this frame, and the travel case came with it. It's my travel bike, since it fits in a neat little case that you can easily take on a plane or bring in a car.
Frame:
NJS Bridgestone frame. Previous owner had S&S Machine couplers added in by Bilenky Cycle Works in Philly. At this time, a brake hole was drilled in the fork, a new rear bridge was added with a brake hole, and cable stops were added to the top tube, as the previous owner ran this bike as a singlespeed.
Fork/Headset:
NJS Bridgestone fork (drilled by Bilenky for a brake), Chris King Gripnut headset
Crankset/Bottom Bracket:
Andel 165mm crankset, Shimano bottom bracket
Pedals:
MKS GR-9 pedals, MKS Fit Alpha NJS straps, MKS clips
Drivetrain/Cog/Chainring/Chain:
Surly cog (18 tooth), Andel chainring (46 tooth), KMC 710SL chain
Saddle/Seatpost:
Regal saddle, Kalloy seatpost
Front Wheel/Hub/Tire:
HED3 or Mavic SUP laced 3x to a Formula sealed bearing hub, Continental Gatorskin tire
Rear Wheel/Hub/Tire:
Mavic SUP laced 3x to a Formula sealed bearing hub, Specialized Armadillo tire
More Info:
This bike is a blast to ride, and at the end of the day, it takes just a few minutes to get it back in the case for travel.

It's madness awesome. Cut the frame and fit into bike bag but faint,I couldn't do it , I got no ball. I like your bikes and very rad-ism.

I am not a fan of bridgestone bikes but this is one is exceptionally well built. What are those metal pieces on the tope tube and down tube?
Posted over 1 year ago
Thank you! Those are couplers, so that the frame can be broken down into two pieces for easy transport in a box.

I'd love to have an njs frame, but a coupled-one ten times more!

Is this cloth bar tape? how do you like it? how does it compare to cork?
Posted almost 2 years ago
It is cloth tape, and it's ok. I definitely prefer cork, but this cloth tape was temporary until I could find some different cork tape.

Hi,
I noted that you kinda did a conversion on your front wheel, the HED one.
I have in hand a set of Specialized Tri-Spokes (just like your HED) and I plan to convert the current QR axles to track axles. Any tips on this?

i love this bike! be able to put it in a case is probably really convenient! another great bike man!
Posted about 2 years ago
Love it! Although if I were you I'd get some old axles to put in the F+R dropouts to protect them whilst in transit. Very nice.

Also, how are those pedals? I've heard they are super comfy with softer shoes as they are nice and flat and don't have sharp edges.
