We have a created a sweet custom built NS Capital 2. Let me just say this thing rides like nothing else! and at only 9.7kg(21lb) its pretty damn light too!
For a full spec list and loads more pics check out the full article...
So the goal wasnt to build the lightest bike possible (beleive me we could make this alot lighter!) but to create a strong street weapon using a handful of the new 09 NS Bikes products. And what we have come up with is a super clean, strong and agile street machine.
I have only been out on this a handful of times over the past two weeks since building it, but I can honestly say this is the most twitchy agile bike I have ever been on!
It is a rather short setup, with short chainstays - which makes spin moves and the manualing balance point second to none! I actaully had difficulty riding this bike for the first time as I continually over rotated when pulling 180's and Ally-oops in the park! haha once I managed to get these basic moves dialed again, I started going for 360's etc off small street ledges and was blown away at how easy and clean I could land these. Infact 360ing this bike on the flat is stupid easy...
Hopefully over the next week or two I get more opportunities to ride this beast, and fill everyone in on the bike and its proggression.
Ben.
