i'm thinking of getting a black DA in 52 from somebody here, but the black chain kind of balances with the saddle.

:) it got dark an i couldnt take a decent pic. I will take some tomorrow..
Chain needs one more link.
I need fatter grips. These are gone to @haveo
Wheels will stay for now and then i will take some njs ones. Or maybe some araya super aero, what do you think of those? Too silver?
Saddle i think looks ok. I wii continue my search for a fujita conpy.
Pedals next thing i will order for sure. Maybe some drop bars as well.

Let me know what do you guys think..

Oh and who wants to see this with a corima four spoke rear and hed 3 front?? :)

Actually @HHC i dont like the grips. @haveo interested??

almost there.

Frame much much better than i expected. paint is immaculate. looks great. i will start building it straight away..

so happy day today, frame arrived, seat post arrived, kashimax top tube protector arrived...

@countryboj if he doesnt want it i will take it.

I think that the black can be balanced with just the black pedals and black straps regarding crankset. Silver seatpost, black saddle, silver stem/ bars, black tape. Silver wheels, gumwall tyres, maybe black chain, mm maybe not, dont know about the chain :)

Edit: the above sound pretty boring and generic :). Go with the black chainring and black bars. Black and white harlequin wrap.

Well not for that price obviously, i meant the particular model. I think zens look better on aluminum/carbon frames rather than steel frames

I think you should go for the sugino 75 black instead of the zen

Dibs NJS track bars. PM sent

no its vinyl, only the letters will stay on. its durable and waterproof, just the rubbing may cause problems

just order two of these but measure the current letters so the size matches. if your foot rubs though they won't last long, but neither the marker

so wheels. Have some american classic 420. I was going to sell them or paint them because of the decals. Eventually i didn't have to with the help of @duncs who suggested paint remover as the black is anodised.. 1 hour later, done, all black.. these will be the main wheels for phase one. phase two when the bike is full NJS..

before and after shots..

@haveo yes they are. i'll let you know.

One month too late :(

Hed now 250 without a tyre
Mavic 75
bars 28
crank 20

Money come and go :)
