Today, let's deal with a frame that has a lot to say: for its 10th anniversary, JRI Fixed recently released the Grit and sent me a frame to sponsor my new build. Planning a new bike build is a thing, but making the actual dream come true is another.

Let's zoom in

The Grit offers some special details that you can't resist, with its TIG welded & brazed tubing. The raw look of the frame with the burnt oil slick looking weldings feels like it has nothing to hide but its stiffness and durability.

The japanese decals "バイク" (Baiku = Bike as @spooky_tsuki taught me) underline the savage aura of that frame.

Here are some close-up shots of the different parts

Note that the dropouts were actually still burning when we got the frame out of the box!

Where to buy it?
