Wanted: Panasonic frame

Looking for a top model Panasonic road frame, from the late 80ies to start 90ies

Size around 57-58cm

Not surprisingly, a PR6000 would be the greatest but other top models can do too.

Also, other Japanese frames

Bump

Check out marktplaats.nl regularly, Panasonic was very popular over there back in nineties. PR6000 will ask for a lot of luck but nice pr4000 and 5000 pop up regularly.

This one on Pedalroom is sweeeeeet

They really are sweet, my favourite. I actually have an original 1991 pro team frame in the attic waiting for restoration...

I’ll keep an eye on Marktplaats! They’re very desirable, I think. Hope to find a nice Japanese frame for my Superbe Pro group before spring :)

I need this.

Yeah, they’re really great

Superbe Pro is a great groupset indeed. I still regret selling mine (for only 100 €...).

PR6000 are so rare because these were very expensive bikes. Here you can find the 1991 catalog ànd pricelist and the PR6000 costed 7000 Gulden (3500 €) back than!

didn't you already have one? Or do I mix you up with another Dutch guy here on the forum?

I don't think I have to tell you guys how happy I am owning a 1991 PR6000 ànd MC Pro mountainbike. :-)

didn't you already have one?

Track, yes. Need twins.

Sell me your track so I have the 3 of them. ;)

Sell me your track

that would be hard

:)

Still one of my forum favourites, keep an eye out for some superbe pro cranks ;)

Great info, thanks - didn’t know they were so expensive at that time. I really love the superpe and superbe pro groups too. Even thinking of using those funny “ergo” shifters they introduced but not sure yet. Of course I still need the right frame. I you guys have some good suggestions on other Japanese frames that you find desirable, don’t hesitate to bring them up :) maybe I’ll go look for a Merckx MXL, think superbe pro would fit those nicely too

I really want one of these :(

Full on modern gravel bike with a vintage touch

I really want one of these :(

You can order this through TrackSupermarket it seems:

I’ve seen. What I meant was I want one, I don’t want to pay for one :)

Almost, the other pic up above is of their road-endurance mode which is a little different (notably it lacks any decent tyre clearance IMO). /off-topic

I've a 1990 ex-pro Panasonic PR6000, could do with space in the shed (which I'll surely regret) so keep meaning to list up for sale - it's this one http://www.retrobike.co.uk/rbotm/rbotm-november-2011-is-ededwards-panasonic-pr-6000/ from the year that John Talen entered the Arenberg Trench in the leading groupp

O boy, you are gonna regret this...

But eh, what size is it? ;)

As Swiss Toni said, "what is life without regret?".

Can't remember size but as set up it fitted me comfortably at 6'2" and I tend to ride 62-64 cm frames
