I bought an NJS frame. Does anyone want to make ignorant comments assuming that I have never ridden fixed-gear or that I don't know how JIS standards work or what toe overlap is or similar?

Yes, I'll be riding it exclusively on the street.
>>
Just give it to me, I'm the real fixiemaster, I have made a lot of money skidding the tire wheels and popping the wheels, you dont know what you're getting in to, kid!

Use a tape measure and caliper to measure everything.

Whjy would we assume that? We know for a fact you're a faggot.
>>

sick paintjob and decals.
I looked at a site selling used kierin bikes once because I know sometimes riders are other races other than Japanese but there was still nothing in my size. a few were pretty big but I don't really want one I just think they're neat. there's a velodrome here but I don't think I'll ever actually race it

there's some pretty good prices on these frames I might pick one up myself

how long have you been transitioning?

What's your size?
>>
>>2055412
I guess it depends on the manufacturer's build but I have road bikes that are 61 and maybe 63 although I'm the second owner so that's just my measurements. but anyway, they're both a little small on me
>>
>>2055424
That is unfortunate. I hope you can find the unicorn frame.

i have an njs bike as well, been using risers instead of drops for a year now and its comfy
>>
>>2055729
This looks sick but I need a brake. Do you find the frame a bit small with risers or a bit large with drops?

Wife won’t send me a full photo of the frame but paint looks good

Are fixie-specific frames needed for a fixie? I took the freewheel off my road bike a couple months ago. Am I damaging my bike?
>>
>>2057283
You need some sort of accommodation for tensioning the chain yeah. Semi-horizontal dropouts are the most popular way of converting a road frame.
>>
>>2056611
the frame is fine either way, its just that your back position is a bit different and you're a lot more relaxed with risers
>>
Fellas……….
>>
>>2055290
Cool frame anon. Hope you enjoy riding it.
Sometimes I consider getting an NJS frame myself, but my state frame is perfectly fine imo. Plus it has wider tire clearance which is nice.
>>
>>2055290
Are you putting thickslicks on it and no brakes like a real fixietard?
>>
>>2059791
the no brakes would be a given cause njs frames don't have mounts for brake calipers.

it's actually a gas engine from a chainsaw, no gears, just a tensioner and clutch

All done. Thanks for following my trials and tribulations.
>>
>>2062911
looks absolutely retarded without drops, wtf would you do that. this has to be bait right.
>>
>>2062914
I already have a fashion bike but thanks for following along anon
>>
>>2062911
lmao what a retard
>>
>>2062911
what the fuck is this abomination
>>
>>2062915
how is this not a "fashion" bike, there is no reason to be upright on a bike unless your a girl going to get baguette.
>>
>>2062911
why would you buy this frame and a DA crank just to put a casual cockpit on it? you could have just gotten any old bike on Craigslist with the stock crank and slapped that stem and bar on it and got the exact same performance out of it.
>>
>>2062934
It’s 8.5kg so it’s nice and easy to carry up stairs, it’s fast as fuck, and it’s already upset everyone here who doesn’t ride, what’s not to like?
>>
>>2062911
at least put some mtb bar ends near the top bend, or a Jones H bar or something so you can lay down power for climbs and speed.
is that a nitto stem?
>>
>>2062935
>fast as fuck
you literally can't go fast in that position your acting as a human air brake, I guess you would likely go faster then me cause your 30bmi stomach would be piercing the air.
>>
>>2062931
it's comfier and your head position is better for seeing stuff around you such as traffic and fluffy deer booty
>>
>>2062946
You are in over your head.
>>
>>2062911
Sick! I bet it's fast. Nobody is going to expect that with those handlebars.
