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!)

Are you sure about the pick up only? ;)

what do you mean? where are you?

Well im not able to pick it up. But i would love to have it,

where are you? if i can shove it in box, send it and you pay the postage on top of price, i really don't care. just logistically that sounds a right hassle, hence pick up only

dibs frame if you split

How long is the top tube?

56cm c to c

you should get a PM very shortly

just out of curiosity, i understand Yoshi Konno, the original builder of 3rensho, was paralyzed in a car accident. i have no info as to what year this happened, but is there an info if this one is built by him or just by his shop? thanks

So nice

how much for just frame?

selling it whole

Barely used but wheels needs truing? Either your friend is a bad builder or the barely used doesn't hold #justsaying

sorry correction: the wheels have now been trued! i should have deleted that. it's in perfect working order, just needs pedals

thanks for pointing that out

A beautiful bike.
