***I bought this frame secondhand in near mint condition (it came with headset and bottom bracket) but every other part (except the sawn off riser bars) were bought brand new. I've literally only ever ridden it 0.5km or so round the block (the day I finished it), so apart from the dust it's gathered in the 3.5 years it's been in my mum's loft it's in the same condition I bought it in. (At the time I had another NJS bike and was too scared to get this one dirty). A friend helped me build it, including the wheels. These will need to be re-trued. It comes without pedals, although I've supplied a chain (also brand new when I bought it). As a point of interest, the ***NJS Export website I bought it from told me it belonged to famous Japanese Keirin racer 'The Monster' Masamitsu Takizawa, although I can't prove this. (A number of similarly sized 3Rensho and Makino bikes have appeared on the market, so it's by no means a unique claim to fame!)

Genuine question (and thus free bump), why build something this expensive and then not ride it? It is not that uncommon to see expensive builds that have been constructed with little expense spared advertised as 'hardly ridden.'
