Wanted: Kashimax Five Gold frame protector

Looking for a Kashimax Five Gold frame protector for my purple sparkle build.

Let me know if you're selling one or know where I can find one.

If you can hold on till next year, Kashimax will be planning to make a load more and at reasonable price and not the over inflated prices that some people want.

I could never see why those clips cost such a bomb.

I can wait until next year. I've already turned down one insanely overpriced offer.

Where did you hear that Kashimax are restarting production next year?

Sorry for hijacking thread but are there alternatives out there which are non-branded? I just need a small TT protector; not fussed about branding but can;t find anythig similar.

Yes, e.g. the clear PVC ones at Retrogression. Or you can make one.

I'm looking for a Kashimax Five Gold frame protector too but I dont have Insatgram...

Anyone got one of these for sale?

@vince Maybe?

I sold mine, sorry.

A fellow forumenger got mad because they didn't get it.

I am going to Japan in a couple of months so will bring some back!

Are they still in ptoduction?I've heard theh haven't been made for a while now.
I'm quite tempted by a skout one

I don't actually know, just assumed they lacked export partners as opposed to stocks/production issues

Can I get on the waiting list for one? haha

Hi,
would you know where to buy them in Tokyo?
Cheers!

That I don't know either but I will update this thread if manage to get some.

According to retrogression out of production.

Hope you can find a shop with stock

They're out of production but there are persistent rumours that Kashimax will do a production run this year.

I couldn't find any new ones in Tokyo last time I was there. I did find one second-hand one I regret not buying.

I'm still looking for one if anyone is selling at a reasonable price.

Always found it odd that small japanese manufacturers dont meet demand nor market products.
This often adds to the mythical factor to the desirability.

Just going to leave this here in case anyone is interested... https://skoutvelo.com/

I can remember when planet x were knocking them out for about 20 quid!

Thanks anyway guys. Specifically after a Kashimax one FWIW.

Contacted Kashimax direct since I'll be in Osaka in a few months.

The will restart production next year - keep an eye on their Insta!
