Kalavinka frame

Oh...

lowers head, goes back to work

sorrry guys, just trying to have a laugh with the random thread revivals.

Might aswell use this thread then.
Will be in Japan this summer and might want to take a frame back with me, if something special shows up. Any new locations to be added to Build his list? Is it still cheaper to get a njs frame there or has the price level changed due to the many frames exported and higher demand.
And we also want to check a Keirin race, whats the best place? (either near Tokyo or Osaka)

Talk to Gabe (NJS Export), he's in Kanagawa:

I've been in contact with Gabe before on importing a bike trough him. Wonder if he'd give away his sources though. Will email him though!

If you're there to get a frame off his hands, it can't get any cheaper....
...the problem is always about shipping/customs.
Why would he give you his source??...It's a business!
Believe me, it is probably the best solution, specially if you're going
there, in person.

fixies not welcome

What if you come in to get a brake installed?

Anyone on here imported a frame to the UK using NJS Export and is there much custom duty to pay?

I have ordered track wheels from them before, duty was pretty low, around 35 quid.

Cool, thanks for your reply

yes many people have. use a duty calculator. the guy who runs it will however mark it down to whatever price you want - but the insurance will only match that amount

I believe my mate who bought one recently paid about £100 tax.

I think Gabe only marks it down if you ask him to. Mine (kalavinka frame) was only £40 (marked down to $150). Could just be a fluke.
