Bringing stuff back from Japan, Bike shops. NJS track frame?!

My new (but not new if you know what i mean) bike is a baby blue Bridgestone keirin all the way from the boys in Kalavinka in Tokyo,
cost to me £45!
Will show pics when i wake up from immense jet lag.

I need to know where i can get one of those clamp brake things- or should i just drill it?

oh and also
I have the hubs, but need a cheap wheel build, any suggestions (yes i know I should 'NJS' it, but i can't afford it whatsoever).

you went!! i didn't know ...

£45 shipping? Or thats how much the frame was... :|

don't feckin' drill it

£45 for the frame. and BB. And Seat.
then another 70 went on Chainring and crankset ( Shim Dura Ace) and Seatpost. (don't ask why the seat came with the frame and not the post)
then 25 ish on a nitto stem.
total: £140. An it is sitting downstairs.

pics please! :)

bloody bargain

jeususususususssssss

they're coming. i promise.....
Anyone know where i can get one of those clamp front brake thingys?

Try here. Thought about get one for my Nag but have decided to ride it on the road as little as possible.

Sounds like a bargain...is in new? and if not is it clean?

31trum don't feckin' drill it

Agreed...you'll likely struggle to find a brake anyway...clearances will be too tight!

just get some cheap 700c forks from Brick Lane Bikes

its not new, and thats kinda why i bought it, need a day to day bike.

jos has a few nice chrome drilled 700 forks lying around at his place. didn't ask how much though, wouldn't be expensive though.

chrome?
might make some sense.
Will chat, cheers.

Sorry about the quality.
To add to it- i begged, and bought some cheap stuff in japan too:

Shimano 50T chainring and crankset.
White keirin saddle (free)
seatpost
mismatched hubs ( one black, one gold).
nitto stem
It is going to be pretty when i build it, and vaguely cheap (around 300, maybe less)- have splashed out in some areas
And is called 'Chloe' in case you are wondering.

White keirin saddle (free)

don't use this it will rip you a new arse hole..believe me.

Chloe is going to build up into a real beauty. I am still reeling from the fact you got for so little. nice one

nice pick up Htay realy like the powder blue. have you decided what to do about a break....braekless??? or swtich the forks?

oh have bought a clamp brake-
should arrive next week or later.
If if arrives after i've built it up - ill ride brakeless.

how much did you pay for the clamp brake Htay? friend of mine needs one for a frame she bought from roberto

around the same as the frame- from njsframes.blogspot.com says it comes with most things......
it is my biggest expenditure- and hopefully will remain that way.
It is to keep my dad happy.
I'd ask jos about that fork- prob cheaper in the long run

really nice.

not an option. she spent a lot of money on the frame and wants to use the original forks, which i can understand. be sure to post up photos when she is fully built. all the best

she or he, i'm confused now!? sorry htay, never met you.
