Wanted: NJS Frame

Looking for a nice keirin track frame, preferably scratched and well used.

yes, scratched and well used.

I want something that I can use every single day and take to the track once in a while. I've checked all the usual suspects like njs blogspots, ebay and tokyofg but want to know if anyone on here has anything.

Not very fussy about make, size from 50cm to maybe 54cm, tiny

looking to spend upto £400ish on the frameset. Any condition at all will do ;)

NHS frame do? chrome silver 55 CtC no dents.

How much? I need one

if you get one built by one of the frame builders for keirin I'll buy it off you

i wonder if those are track legal?

they have grips/tape so should be fine, high bottom bracket

Looks like you might get toe overlap

grip placement fail

nah dan, its the new "track cruiser" design. effective for sprinting i hear

there's no hope is there? :D

course there is, at least you are short (i assume) and frames that fit you exist.

@ max, it's just a marketing ploy, they say the njs is in trouble and has to show they are providing new and innovative ways in frame design - so term in "cruiser"

there's no hope is there? :D

Have you contacted Gabe at NJS Export? Just because it's not listed on the website doesn't mean it's not in the pipeline.

I love japanese frames, there is something amazing and different about the way they build their frames that appeals to my eye. I know that they are always a dream to ride so seems like a great combo, I want my everyday bike to put a smile on my face every time i ride home after a tough day. So i want to go for njs.

at least you are short (i assume)

i do alright, im about 5.9" but always prefered smaller sizes in everything for a snug/racing feel.

But yeah, I don't particularly want to splash out the extra £200-250 just for having the frame delivered and pay stuuupid overpriced customs charges. Therefore it be nice if anyone already has one here in UK/Europe

Anyone know if I can ask the guys in japan to state that the frame is worth like 10dorraw when they send it so I don't get stung on import???

i'll do that now, he is bound to have something scrappy lying around that isn't flash enough for the blog itself.

i'll do that now, he is bound to have something scrappy lying around that won't be worth what I pay for it and will probably break within a week of me getting it

i want it because it will put it me in a good mood

you can't put a price on happiness

you can't put a price on happiness

I can!

you can't put a price on happiness

yes you can,

an njs frame, fridge full of booze, 100kg of beef jerky, hookers and gelato

hic

my point is, no matter how expensive the frame is, as long as it makes you happy money is no object

maybe i chose the wrong phrase? haha

i emailed the guy i bought my giro frame from the other day to see if he could get hold of a nag or a kavalinka and he said he still had a few frames for sale. they should be within your budget he said he had a pink Reminton 52.5, a mint white Umezawa 55, a white Yanagisawa 54 and a black Presto 51.5. ive attached some pics.[EMAIL="mail@stevewillard.co.uk"][/EMAIL]
