to explain myself and the price:
i just checked the prices for all the parts (including bb and headset) at tokyofixedgear and my shopping card reached £ 1100...
that would make £ 150 for the frame left to reach my asked for £ 1250.
sure my bike and the parts are not new, they are almost one year in use.
BUT they are in a really good condition.
...talking about reasonable prices for njs frames from japan:
...when i wanted a keirin njs frame and checked my options (especially rene@tracksupermarked / ebay.com / friends)...i was fuckin disappointed and thought that i'll never get a frame in my size for a payable price.
the only option was to buy a panasonic or wait another year wishing that rene will pick up some frame i like.
i ended up to buy this peloton from a friend who had some buisness to do in japan.
...BUT to get to the heart:
If you buy a njs frame from japan a common price for 58,5 cm frame is $ 1000 +/- for a frame including bb and headset / shipping, which is around £ 630.
i'm not sure how you're situation in england is, but in germany you have to pay on top of this price taxes (19% + entrance duty 5-6 %)...so you'll end up paying around £ 750.
i totally feel what you are saying. this is a lot of money...
BUT you get sth. rare and special for it.
...just checked the bricklane website and they are selling a orlowski complete bike for £ 1100...
if you know what i mean? ;)
...sure this is spoonish to spend so much money on a 'used' bike...
but that's how you are and that's how i am.
we love these bikes.
...and i hope this price is still fair and nobody feels offended by it, if so, please tell me!!
...that's the last thing I would want.
in my eyes it's still a good price for what you get.
if some people think that this is too much money, i can understand this in a way, but on the other hand...
i'll never sell this bike for a snap.
there's too much love involved...
