I’ve got a Zeus track frame in storage. I used to call it noodley, but now I know it just planes.

It very much does. That and tanwall tires but I’m a bit tapped out on cash for bikes for a bit.
Amateur built by a guy in California back in the 70s. Says it was built with Columbus SL, and there’s rifling in the steer tube of the original fork that corroborates that story.
@Blakey I did find out a few years ago that it clears 38mm 650b tires with the axle all the way pushed back, but 32mm 650b fits really nicely with medium reach brakes. It’s a bunch of fun built like that and I need to build another wheelset to do that again.

What’s an NJS?

Nihon Jitensha Shinkōkai, Japan Bicycle Promotion, or Japan Keirin Association. All of the Keirin-approved parts have the stamp. It used to be a flex to have a bike that was all NJS (maybe still is?).
