gotta love the bridgestones

Submitted by kleansupreme on 11/19/2009.

gotta love the bridgestones and NJS in general, such solid and fast bikes..

Hows your reach with that Jag and drop combo? Im 5'9" on a 54 NJS and ran a pearl 100 to a b123 but the drops were too deep still!

Roll on bruthaman

They're definitely awesome, I love mine.

Yeah for a little while I wasn't sure whether to get B123s or the more shallow B125 until I borrowed my friend's B123 and they feel great for me. But I'm 5' 11", and the setup now feels perfect. If anything I think my next frame will be slightlyyy bigger, like a 55 or maybe 55.5.

no doubt man

no doubt man, my 54 Samson NJS - trying to get it set perfect.
i sorta want a 90/100 jag for my new b125. think ima keep ms. pearl for the riser fuck! i miss my bike!

i bet you can pull a 55-56. for me, it seems like im pushing it with the 54ness but who knows. its rad, never really toe overlaps...i think its best to have a slightly larger frame size if you ride in the street lots - so much variation between njs frames its crazy,for instance my downtube measures to be a 57 and its 54square tt,st, wtf?!

i wanna speak with mr. harada wtfd

That's a really nice build.

That's a really nice build. Not so colorful like so many bikes nowadays. Hey how tall are you ? I have a 52 Bomber Pro. I'm thinking of getting a little bigger one. I'm 5'8 with 31 standover

Thanks

Thanks man, I like simple, clean looking bikes. Your Bomber Pro looks sick too. I'm around 5' 11", and with a 100mm stem I think this feels really good.

Thanks man. That's why I like your bike. Simple. So 5'11 might be a big for me I guess ? I might have to go with a 53

Yeah I mean everyone has different preferences but if you feel like your bike is too small I'd go with a 53, 53.5, or maybe even a 54. My bike feels amazing but I think I could ride a 55 or 55.5 also. But since I ride bmx I'm used to a smaller bike. Like I said it's all your preferences.

True. I just wish I knew

Submitted by eddie_el_nene on 10/17/2009.

True. I just wish I knew someone in Chicago with a NJS bike size 53-54 so I can try it out. Well see. Thanks again
