Hello ya'll,
I have my Panasonic frame for sale.
It has been picked up from Respray only just
yesterday, nothing mounted back. Pristine.
For those who don't remember this frame is
this same one, bought from Japan, unfortunately
dented, twice, dt and tt. Apart from that, (which is enough),
the frame is absolutely mint condition, straight, true, very very stiff.
It's made of TANGE PRESTIGE PRO, now decaled as TANGE only.
(it is next to impossible to source anything from Japanese builders, apart
from 3Rensho and Nagasawa).
The refurbishment job has been carried out by Vaz's brother, very well done
IMO, the dent on the DT has been filled (and rolled!), as the one on the tt, you can however,
still notice from an angle, if you look for it, you can recognize where it used to
be.
I need this to be clear, you can tell, you can't see any dent or anything, but
a sharp eye can tell where it was. Aside from these cosmetics mishaps the
frame holds its integrity beautifully, it is a piece of art, made of fine steel.
Extremely light, like a 753 frame, probably lighter and very, very stiff.
IT has a rear spacing of 110mm (9mm) x 100mm front (8mm).
NJS stamped on the BB shell.
Seatube is 55.5 ctt; Toptube is 57 ctc.
27.0 seatpost.
It has been painted in Kawasaki Green with metallic sparkle finish.
Now the price. I don't want to make (The) profit, honestly just need to
get rid of the frame, have too many and can't even hang it, afraid I may damage it,
it really needs to go to a good home that rides the hell out of it.
I want the all inc. costs back - £370.
*Considering I had to bring it from Japan, pay all sorts of shitty taxes, refurbish it,
and promptly putting it available for anyone to take it and set it up, it sounds
like a bargain. *
Don' get me wrong though, I know what I'm asking...
There's been at least 2 frames posted for sale today, for 100 less than this price,
specially Jonny's Chesini. But this is a frame sought after for whatever it is that
its stamp stands for, so it's got the obligatory hipster tax added already.
Feel free to take the piss, i don't give a shit.
First with cash moneys takes, no waits...I need to sell quick.
Oh..and no, the price is not negotiable. Sorry, there's always ebay.
