MEGA NJS Fixed Gear Bike Check | Iribe, Nagasawa, Bridgestone, 3Rensho

For lightweight, top-tier steel bikes, check out Wabi Cycles:

NJS bikes are amongst my favorite bikes ever produced: simple, elegant, but at the same time, they’re hand made for the express purpose of high stakes gambling in Japan: pretty badass.

In this MEGA NJS bike check, we’ll take a closer look at 4 beautiful NJS builds that will be sure to make you consider if you can justify having yet another bike. Today, we have an Iribe, Nagasawa, Bridgestone, and even a 3Rensho.

That 3Rensho is hands down one of the most beautiful bikes I've ever laid my eyes on. Thanks for sharing these superb builds with us Zach.

That 3Rensho is a work of art. Be still my heart! If I were going to ride one regularly though, like you I'd pick the Bridgestone.

[BwareGamer]

these bikes....wow....


Bridgestone is my fave. Purple. Practical. Understated.


Also, appreciate the ad format- mention it early on, but save the plug for the end. Feels polite.

I think I died and went to heaven after gazing upon the 3Rensho.

Pure bike prawn. Polished aluminum components are just impressive. Tough to pick a favourite, but that 3Rensho ... Oh my.

[Kevinschart]

i can't be the only one that gets a kick out of hearing that voice describe steel and rubber. somehow it never gets old.

My fave is the 3Rensho because it has my beloved lugs and off the chart fixie points chrome plating. If you're going lugged; they should be shown off with contrasting paint, or better yet chromed! That green/gold paint is a beautiful color. I would have gone with polished cranks, personally. I see 3Rensho frames are about $1, 500- $2000 in the USA, so they are not too much - no banks need to be robbed. Next fave is the Bridgestone with the nice purple metalflake! I would have blinged it out with all chrome components. Oh yeah, polished flat bars all around. As "Classic Motorcycle" magazine says, "Don't hide 'em. Ride 'em."

The 3Rensho's paint is nuts... it really reminds me of the Legnano green.
Fun fact i actually have a Legnano Olimpiade frame from the 70s that was my grandfather's (beautiful lugs and fork, complete with internal routing for rear brake and shift and custom welded frame pump holder 'winglets' on the seat tube. Never seen anything like that up until this). I rebuilt it this year, but i painted it a beautiful Lime-Acidic green, with bright yellow notes under light, but keeping the deepest hue under the shade. I can't stop marvelling it, but it was meant to be functional too, and with everything but the original NISI rims replaced, it rides like heaven!

[Agamum]

To be honest there were parts of all three builds I loved, like. The crankset, and rims of the first build. The tires and handlebars of the second build, and the frame of the third build.

[coletrick]
