I`ve got a Bomber Pro frameset for sale. Would love to keep it, but a bit short of cash. Imported it from Japan. Very rare frame, really hard to find. Bomber is one or two guys who build frames for keirin riders just outside Tokyo in Saitama pref. From what I understand, they learned how to build frames from Mr. Tanabe at Kalavinka. Classic keirin workmanship -- so beautiful.
Builder Profile
Profile: Rinsei Ida was born in 1974. He has a strong desire to be involved in bicycle making and, as soon as he finished high school, he joined Maruishi Cycle Ltd. After learning frame building technique on an actual production spot, he joined Tsuruoka Racing. Among the chief builders of the factories that produce original brands, Ida probably is the youngest in Japan.
The frame measures 52cm top tube (c to c), and 49cm seat tube (c to c). Fork, headset (Hatta Swan Super De Luxe), bb (Hatta Swan) are included. KAISEI 8630 (0.8-0.5-0.8mm thick, Nickel-Cr-Mo) tubeset, normal round fork crown style, original seat end style, not drilled for brakes, deep blue colour, sprint competition (keirin) style geometry. 100mm front spacing and 120mm rear spacing.
Would like £450 for the frameset or best offer. Cost me £650 plus shipping a year ago.
