Blue Bike.
I’m bringing 3 bikes to this years NAHBS and here are a few shots of the 3rd. This one is a JKS X with the optional Terraplane stays. It’s a dedicated Di2 frameset with fully internal wiring and under the c-stay battery mount for quick and easy battery removal/recharge.
The frame is of course built up with Shimano Dura Ace Di2 and it has a Deda bar/stem, Fizik saddle and carbon post (currently one of three 30.6 mm Fizik posts on the planet) and Lightweight brand wheels. This bike, like the Red Bike, is on loan from it’s owner for use in the show and I very much look forward to getting it to its new home directly after the show. It’s about time this bike gets ridden hard.
Please stop by my booth, #413, if you attend the show and take a good look at this and the other bikes. I’m afraid my photography skills fall behind my framebuilding and JB’s paint skills so the bikes always look better in person than they do in photos…………..and I think they ride better than they look……which to me is by far the most important thing.
Thanks again for looking – see you soon I hope.

Seeing this blue one finished is making me really eager to get my frame back from Joe Bell. I’ve picked out a slightly darker blue hue, with more traditional panel scheme. Being so close to NAHBS I’m sure mine won’t get sprayed till you all get back from Sacramento. I unfortunately won’t be able to attend this year as I’m saving all the pennies to pay for my JK-Classic.
Wow…… Just wow. Didn’t think I’d do Di2 on another frame, but this one has me reconsidering. Are those new decals or is it paint?
Dave,
As always this is a very sharp design that blends modern components while maintaining the beauty of traditional bike.
