I emailed them a few months ago and got a flat 'no overseas sales' in pigeon English... You may have to ask a kindly Japan-based forumenger for some help on this one, I think pete was offering a while back...

yeh.. ill do what i can to help :)

cheers dude, thats well nice of u!
i'm a bit lost on what frame to get...i like the look of the panasonic, but all things included its bloody expensive. ive been considering a mercian, they're expensive to, but it would be completey custom (as i could go to the shop and get fitted) and would still work out about £100 cheaper than the panasonic. My mate slowbot has given me the email address of a guy who works for tokyofixedgear, and im told he might be able to help me out aswell...
not really sure what to do.

well.. it would be much easier to get a european frame. and as you say, cheaper.

if you decide to go Japanese, and need a postal address, more than happy to help. Im in Kobe, if you wanted a Vivalo frame i could go pick it up.

I like this guy (http://njs-keirin.blogspot.com), been waiting for something in my size/preferred colour for ages, IMO his prices are way fairer than njsframes dude...

Agree with you all the way, and I think is because one is working from the USA njsframes, and the other from Japan, njs-keirin

also the postal changer are better in njs-keirin

but some of those frames are damaged ;) . whereas rene only sells re-furbished frames in perfect condition.

Yeah, but you don't have to buy a damaged one do ya? He's got shit-loads of stock at the moment, tons of 3Renshos and Makinos... Mouth-watering stuff, nothing that suits my latin complexion tho'... ;]

maybe that is thye truly reason of the pricies gap

Yeah, that's where I got my Watanabe from and Gabe's sound

Did anyone ever bite the bullet and go for one of these Panasonic frames?

not yet.
it's my next purchase though.. so hopefully over the next 3-4 weeks.
i may get it via japanese shopping proxy or ebay. depending on the better deal.

found this a while ago.
but i guess they are coming with a full setup, not just the frame.

No, think they're just a bit expensive, frame-set only. Cheaper on ebay by £100.

Bargainous giro on there..

it look like a really bad dent on the top tube, it's cheap because the top tube need to be replaced.

Panasonics seem to have been hit by inflation pretty hard... pretty bloody expensive at the mo.
