Reader’s Rides

Stratos-05.JPG

This week’s Reader’s Rides comes all the way from Australia, actually Adelaide, South Australia. John Stamatakis sent in his Stratos track bike and the shear size of the frame alone merits a post. At a massive 60cm, this is one of the larger NJS bikes I’ve seen.

Check out more photos from this week’s Reader’s Rides below!

John had been searching for a NJS bike for quite some time.

It wasn’t until he was vacationing in Rome that he came across on his size.

Knowing good well that large Keirin frames are few and far between, he pounced on it, leaving him pinching pennies for the remainder of his trip.
