JKS mid build

I’m just over 1/2 done building a JKS for James and it’s coming out very well. Some bikes are work and others just seem to fall together  and this one falls into the latter category. I should have it all done late tomorrow and then it’s off to JB.

Stay well,

Dave

   Lovely bike, of course. Question: do you ever do a JKS with side-tack seatstays

   ( . . . the seatstay attachment near the seat on this bike, and I believe on all the JKSs I’ve seen, have been as shown in the photo — I think that is called a “fastback” style, not sure if I have the term right).

   The JK Special does indeed come with a fastback stay arrangement. I use the fast back as it’s the lightest and most aero way to attach the stays. On the JK Cross, where tire and mud room is important, I use sidetacks.

   Thanks for asking.
