Title: 83 JMC Black Shadow - pic heavy.
Post by: Jaan on September 19, 2014, 11:18 AM

You may have seen the "which wheels?" thread in chat, that helped me move away from the idea of fitting Graphites and settle on chrome UKAIs laced to sealed Sunshine hubs.

Anyway, here it is with plate, pads and no pads. I'll add the obligatory parts run down at the end.

Lovely bike that Chris  :coolsmiley: 

After all that debate on the wheels and you finally settling on chrome rims it's funny that they look like Black shinesides in some of the pics  :D .  They look great and so much nicer than the Tuffs imo .

Top build with some cool parts  :daumenhoch:

Nice  :4_17_5: Chris and very fast looking.  :smitten: I also had to take a second look at the rims as i thought they were black.

Any chance of a pic of the plate without the grey mesh and just the white background with the numbers clipped in ????

I like that a lot, looks butch and chunky for a JMC (which suits my taste)  :smitten:

I like it with the pads and plate, but I think a Haro Tech plate would look better. I think the Haro Circuit Board (like the Zeronine Moto Control) only realy suit high cross bars like CW's, Monkey's, ProClass etc.

That is simply outstanding.
What a sleek, fast looking extremely well thought out build.
I love seeing a build that makes me wish I was the owner.
Great job Chris.

i've never ridden one but they just look so well thought out geometry wise.  They look like they rise so well  :daumenhoch:

Post by: Jaan on November 14, 2014, 03:38 AM

Personally speaking, Jim's geometry and design was amongst the very elite as he built for his best riders and then offered them commercially rather than allowing consumerism to lead his designs. I think the low numbers he produced reaffirms that.

Anyway in his output are a couple that are perfect for me.
