It gives me great pleasure and is genuinely a privilege to put together and present to you my very first, KEIRIN ridden, NJS, Level, Track Bike.
I am a big Bike enthusiast and would love to learn how to build bike frames, if anyone knows of workshops/scholarships taking place in 2023, please feel free to reach out to me.
Owning this frameset inspired me to learn more about the Japanese culture, more specifically, the Zen philosophy.
- Nihon Jitensha Shinkōkai -
NJS truly embodies the Zen culture of Japan, where there is a right way of doing everything and within this pure simplicity of doing things the RIGHT way, the way it was intended to be done, we are gifted with BICYCLE PERFECTION. Artwork if you will.

To quote my dear friend Katja; “I understand it now, I see this bike and understand everything which it represents. It is perfection.”
And yes, this build does not follow the NJS philosophy, because of the Italian parts I used, but in time I hope to acquire all NJS parts to complete this build and keep it true to the NJS standard.
