£300 won't get you anything nice these days... you should save up and aim for about £500.
I've had 4 frames from Gabe, all in the last 4 years. The cheapest cost me less than £130. Not dented, nor bent.
It's about opportunity and perseverance, Nippon wants the best of 2 worlds. Not likely to happen.
I have 1 Panasonic that came to me dented on the downtube, it has been repaired by Vaz's brother (for those who know where he works).
I can justify the cost only because I'm 'easily' amused, I absolutely love the frame and it's perfectly sized for me. Win.
I might be willing to sell it though, too many bikes atm...., will update.
It is a 55-57 it that helps, not really your size.
