The Analog is pure fixed gear freestyle bike, it is not a traditional track bike! It's strong enough to trick, but still very light. It uses the same tubes as the NS dirt jump frames. It has the same attention to detail and the same focused design as all NS' other products. It is in essence, a radical no-compromise trick-track bike.
Many people may wonder why NS has stepped into the fixed gear freestyle scene - and the answer is quite simple. Their products have been used by fix-trix bikers for several years, especially the forks, that were a very common site in fixie bikes around the world. These guys have been asking NS to make some specific fixed gear products - and together with a group of the most influential fixie riders they came up with designs and ideas that materialised in the form of a frame, a fork and a complete bike.
There are now lot's of new-school riders doing hardcore moves on their fixies, but not too many bikes, frames or forks that are strong enough to handle this kind of abuse. We feel that the Analog product line should fill in this gap perfectly.
The Analog frames will fit tires up to 700x38C and will be barspinable with this size. The geometry is different than that found in traditional track bikes - the length of the top tube will be longer in the corresponding size, and NS suggest using shorter stems (40-50mm) to achieve the correct riding position.
