Well.
I didn't anticipate that this was going to come quite so soon, if at all, as i thought after the time, effort, care and attention id invested in this build, id definitely be keeping her for the foreseeable future.
It took me 9 months to source the parts, build and perfect and its been complete for a little over a month, with less than 50 miles or so covered just gently cruising around, mainly just posing!
After a 50 mile ride yesterday afternoon on a new steed, and the need to use it for commuting, i realised i have to invest in a lot more equipment, bits and bobs to make my journeys and rides a lot more comfortable and enjoyable, that frankly right now i just cant afford.
After already ditching my car and renting out my parking space the easiest way i have of freeing up some cash is to sell The Nagasawa.
This isnt an easy decision, its bloody upsetting to be honest, but it gives someone else the chance to own and use what is a simply beautiful bike, and hopefully use it well, which i just cant do right now.
Im going to put two offers forward:
1) Complete ('good luck' i here you say)
2) Parted (groupset inc. wheels, cockpit, saddle&seatpost)
Firstly the spec list:
Frame:
Nagasawa NJS Sloping Top Tube - 56.5cm C-T - 100/120mm
Id like all communications of interest to go through PM please, no Dibs.
I will post worldwide but only tracked, traced, signed for etc fully insured and after funds have cleared.
Im fully expecting some colourful comments, mainly around pricing, but this reflects the prices i have paid for the components, cheap; no, stupid; maybe, but dedicated to a perfect build; yes.
