Cornelius, that is very true. I just wanted another opinion to make sure I wasn't getting totally ripped-off. to be honest, i was so infatuated by the massive number of desirable frames on the site, that I hadn't thought that this one might have been crashed.
When the frame is all the way over in Japan it undoubtedly helps to have someone more knowledgable to give you a few hints. it would be like buying a house with only a glance-over because you fell in love with it at first sight. Then only to have a surveyor come tell you it's full of rot and is going to end up costing you about 3 times what it did in the first place!
Now that I've thought about this frame a little more, I think I would prefer to buy something that I could see and touch first!
