Weld up a couple tubes, dab on a couple bolt mounts that's it. Bolts are all exposed, sticking out all over the place. It looks like a something made in a garage. <BR/>Much of Nitto's attraction is beauty, the polished neat look. Compare this to Pearl, Technomic, track, or especially their lugged stem.<BR/>Compare this to a 3T Motus. Hidden bolts, very precise fit. It looks like a piece of sculpture. <BR/>The UI-2 looks like a mountainbike prototype. <BR/>I still might try one though ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
