For Sale: Vivalo NJS

I have to sell my beloved track bike because of bad knees and change in interests. I have used it for one summer, and not used it for a few years, so I really can not afford to just have it for decoration.

It rides really smooth and it's a true japanese pear.

Vivalo NJS frame - size. 53x54cm (I'm 176cm tall, and it fits me).
Campagnolo pista record hubs on grey mavic ma40 rims (clincher) - super condition! No brake surface.
Nitto njs b123 handlebar
shimano 600ax stem - cap is cracked, but not missing.
shimano 600ax seat post (duct tape on pictures is removed!)
sugino 75 njs crankset with sugino75 njs 46t chainring
Sugino 75 njs bottom bracket.
Hatta swan njs headset
platform pedals with Holdfast straps
Old San Marco Rolls saddel.

The frame is not NOS or in super mint condition and it does have the classic dents and scratches - see pictures below. Former owner has had problems with a firmly grown seatpost and it has left its traces. But it is only cosmetic and the frame is overall very nice! Price reflects condition. It's a really tight and beautiful bike.

Please no more comments, if you do not want to buy - thanks.

I live in Copenhagen, Denmark. You can pick it up or I can ship the bike for your preferred destination. You pay shipping cost.
I can send you more pictures in higher res. if interested.

Seat tube looks fucked to me

If that was caused by a seatpost, wouldn't the frame have split down by the clamp. To paraphrase above, that looks proper fucked.

Damn shame about the seatpost.

Although I think it's still a good price. Glws

It's really a shame about the seatpost! But if you can live with it, you get a cheap and tight NJS frame.

I'd take the fork if you are willing to split.

Good luck to anyone who's gonna spend nearly £700 on a fucked frame ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.....?.???

i'd take wheelset (and maybe sugino bb) if you are willing to split.

Looks like some brain-dead idiot tried to force in a seatpost that was too wide for the frame, and did so at an angle with a hammer or something.

Personally I wouldn't buy that as it is, needs to have the seat tube replaced for sure, you can see it starting to crimp, a pothole or anything could fold it.

that is fucked plain and simple

Dear Tyrrell.

As I wrote in the add: "Former owner has had problems with a firmly grown seatpost and it has left its traces. But it is only cosmetic and the frame is overall very nice! Price reflects condition. It's a really tight and beautiful bike."

I don't know how you know what has happened with my bike in Copenhagen or know that the bike will fall apart if driving into a pothole.
The case is:
The seatpost got stuck in the seattube (as they sometimes do) a few years ago. The former owner chopped it off and tried to remove it with a screwdriver (don't know why). The damage in the seattube is therefore caused by his attempt to remove the old seatpost. When driving with a common seatpost, that is not too short, there is absolutely no problems or anything dangerous about it. The frame will not fall apart. It is then only cosmetic.
I know the price has dropped because of his stunt, and that is why I am selling the bike a lot cheaper than the other japanese NJS frames on lfgss. If the price is too high, please let me know - in a personal message.

I really hope your story didn't scare potentially buyers from buying my bike. It's a really nice bike. If you are interested in buying it I will send you more photos of the damaged area.

As of now I don't want to split the bike because of the relatively high shipping cost from Denmark to UK.

That effort with the screwdriver is fairly substantial. Its only fair to warn people that it could go at any moment. No getting around that...

That frame, as I and a few others have said is "fucked".....simple as....
Quoting "njs" etc don't mean jack shit, when a frame has been hacked in the way that this one has.
By all means sell the parts, but don't try and justify selling damaged goods by quoting "njs" .

There's no need to be a dick about it petern, the frame is clearly fucked. Get the seat tube replaced, or put it on the scrapheap.

But it is only cosmetic

Not even NJS ;)

Sorry about that guys. In my eyes it's still a beauty. Not trying to cheat anyone. I'm sure you could ride it for years with out problems. If someone want to buy the bike cheaper - let me know. Use the frame if you dare.
570 uk pounds?

£570 for a a clearly fucked frame? I don't think you get it.

For the whole bike i think...

For a really nice bike with a damaged frame - please have a look at the add.

Thanks.

It is if it was produced before they lost their accreditation...

very nice, but very fucked.

Not valid though.

Still I don't think £570 for the build is too bad.

Consider spliting it man!
Is the steerertube 16cm or longer?
If so i'd take the fork, headset and wheel set in a heartbeat!
Think about it!
