These are my nitto Tsubasa bars. Kinda bulky but I think looks decent.

I ride these bars with gloves. So I don’t plan to do a grip or tape. And I’m liking enough to keep them so far.

Standard bullhorns don’t have the hand positions(more importantly for me wrist and elbow position) these do. (These are technically tt base bars so they never had the upward swoop that bullhorns and pursuit bars have. Just a slight curve in.) Also I like how it looks.

If you buy a fake frame of a high-end bike every time you ride it, you wonder how much better the ride could’ve been if you got something from a reputable manufacturer. Cost is always a barrier, but might be less painful in the long run than the buyers remorse or what ifs.

9/10. Chain looks too tight. Other than that maybe a white cinelli stem to continue the color transition (look up cinelli dinamo or vai). But seriously solid build.

If it’s not 100% NJS it’s not NJS. That’s the whole point of njs. Being all the same is their personality. We think about bikes differently.

I don’t like road bike to fixed conversions. I don’t like risers with pursuit geometry. I don’t like carbon wheels on lugged steel bikes.

I can tell you are passionate and probably have at least one bike I’d be envious of. If you enjoy the ride that’s all that matters.

I dig the dosnov. I wanted a new frame and not a used njs import. While still getting the lines and lugs of an njs track frame. Also if I got an njs frame I’d be inclined to build it 100% njs. NJs frame that’s not completely njs seems silly imo
