I was going to NJS this frame out but since it's NJS I decided just to only use parts made in Japan, NJS or not. I have a Sugino Mighty Crankset and Chainwheel I will switch to because the Zeus is a Spanish make. I will will also pull the Turbo saddle and replace it with a Kashimax one. Same goes for the tires which will probably replaced with a set of Gran Compes or Vittorias.

  1. Hi,

    Still using those 155 bars? I'm restoring a 1988 Fuji Opus IV that came stock with those bars and would love to be able to outfit the bike with them. E-mail address attached...thanks!

  2. I don't have them any more. I traded them for some bull horns. I can put you in contact with my friend who has them.
