Offered: The Nagasawa

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.

1) Complete ('good luck' i here you say)

Nagasawaaaaaaaaaaaa

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.

Lovely.

I'd like the saddle.

I wish.

Nooooooo

holy what a lovely bike!

What a beauty! bump

After seeing this in person several times I can vouch for it 100%, absolutely beautiful build, shame to see it go! So much time, effort and care put into this, easily the best njs build I have seen on the forum! Best of luck with the sale dude.

Very very very sweet build

damn, i was following the build from the start, feel your pain.. honestly wish you good luck with the sales.. it's not just the money you put in it, but emotions and time that are priceless!

Thank god it's pink, cos that means no one would nick it.

Don't fucking sell it.

Please don't sell it, such a nice build.

Well this is a bit special. Some 'turn-key porn'

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Oh sweet jesus if only I had some cash to burn!

sobs uncontrollably

I'd be surprised if you get anything near those prices - what you paid and what they're worth now are two different things. (I briefly toyed with selling my Samson - a very similar build to yours - and it wasn't worth it in the end.)

I hope you do - selling bikes is heartbreaking enough. Good luck!

I for one beg you to keep this and sell anything else possible!

been taking NJS build advice from JB

This is the best solution.
