Whole Tokyo is currently raving about the new trick frame NJS frame builder STRATOS is putting out:
I was able to test ride the prototype over the last weekend. The 50cm seat tube was a bit small for me (made more for the average Japanese, I guess), but it handles very well and is quite light for such a sturdy build. Put the saddle up and slap some smaller tires on and it can easily be used for cruising. Let’s see if there is one in my size when it rolls into production.
Just love these super8 shots! This one from flwrider and its stay in Tokyo while the CMWC ’09.
