Patterson's NJS-ish Backwards Boredom Build

I spend a lot of time bored witless in hotel rooms and travelling, coveting a lot of frames on the forum so I thought I'd use some of that time to put a new build together.

After my Planet X, I knew I wanted a colourful NJS frame but hadn't seen one I liked in my size so a couple of months ago I opted to just buy components and keep my eye out for a frame.

[Apologies for shit pictures]

First purchase was this bundle from NJS Export:

Next was the hubs. From NJS Export again and the chainring bolts from eBay:

Nitto Seatpost from NJS Export and BB from a pleasant lad in Ireland:

All NJS stamped so far save for the chainring bolts.

Lucky enough to find myself in NYC so I got a couple of bits from Chari & Co:

This DA seatpost came up on eBay at a decent price a couple of weeks ago:

I want to try a bunch of different cockpit setups and have different options 'cause I fancy a go at that track riding thing people have been talking about so I've collected a few stems - all but the Dynamic 8 are NJS stamped:

Two sets of bars so far. Stamped Nitto B125s and some generic sweptback bars I bought in a Kinoko sale but never got round to using:

Not the connoisseurs choice for rims but I have EERO and Archetype so I trust the brand and in terms of looks, I think they're up to the job:

If I'd had the money at the time, I might've had a go at Telescope's Georama but I didn't so... I didn't. I know Patrick is looking to move his Makino but he's not ready to part with it until he has a replacement so that's off the cards too.

Anyway, there were four updates on NJS before anything I really took a shine to came up in my size and within my budget. I was torn between two so I messaged Indra and he cast the deciding vote this morning. Toshi at NJS Export mailed me this today, it was listed as "Black/Rainbow Flake". I can't wait to hold it:
