It’s time for another bike check, and it looks like we’ve been on an NJS streak lately! But this one isn’t from Japan… It’s from Brooklyn…

Hello readers! Over the past few months, I’ve been writing about how NJS bikes are a good base for builds when you look past the strictly “Keirin style Track bike” that they are built for…

A few months back, I was featuring Tomas' Peloton and its many quirks, as well as how he decided to build the whole bike around the front suspension fork. Today, I’d like to showcase another one of his incredibly unusual builds - His Watanabe NJS…

We are back with more bikes from Shuhary, and the man himself, Letuce-San. Today, we're examining not one but two 3Rensho, both owned and ridden by David Grylls…
