For Sale: Selling NJS Frames?

or i could hope that by next year everyone will be on uniycles and in that case i can pick up all everything even cheaper and bring it back, so my other question is, does anyone know if the Tokyo fixed wheel thing has peaked?

tom. Don't know if it was stupid or shrewd, but I just bought two ex-Keirin 58cm Vivalo's from Carnival in Tokyo. The plan is to sell one when I get back to the UK, make a bit of a profit and therefore be able to afford the one I bought for myself. Does anyone know what sort of price these frames go for? They are white with yellow detail and are in great condition (if it wasn't for the fact that I know they've been raced I'd have said "shop soiled").

E-bay, private sale or try and get someone like Hassan at Cavendish to do a commission sale? Views?

If I were you I would pack a case full of Carnival's anodized copper rims too.

Bungle Vivalo have just had their NJS certification revoked, no?
Yeah, although i would be more concerned with the reason why. Fork crown, steerer separation!!!

|³|MA3K Or pack them bloody good.

I just got a 57 bridgestone.. :)

The carnival ones are only copper colour.

I sell vivalos in PERFECT condition for round 275GBP maximum. And I`m talking perfect. 375GBP for a Vivalo is amazing but they are great frames and at the end of the day I think with an NJS frame If you find one that fits you and pass it by you may never find another one your size again.

tokyofixedgear.com for frames...

yeah, but a frame shipped to the uk usually costs around 90 quid? plus import tax...

No a single frame costs 40GBP shipping.

probably true, but that's close to what alot of places are charging

Ye close, only like $200 off.

Hey! Ye e-mail me tokyofixedgear@gmail.com , Iv got loads of parts, NOS and brand new NJS at Japanese RRP.

i see NJS frames go on hippsterbay/ creigslist for silly money all the time, i don't think he is asking to much at around 375gn

tom. Sounds like people are pretty keen for them then (those who don't want to lynch me for propogating the whole "NJS worship" thing). Given that Pistanator got his frame for 390, I'm guessing that we're looking around the 375 - 400 mark.

And, taking Provenrad's advice to heart (and given that I should really ride a 56cm), it may be that I can sell both if Carnival/W-Base have something slightly better fitting for me. If that's the case, the price will probably drop to something like 325-350 per frame region, as I'll have to make less profit per frame to cover the cost of mine.

The ironic thing is that even by buying three NJS frames, I'll still be spending less than I would have had to to buy the Claude Butler Path frame they've got. If I was less lazy I'd try and organise some sort of Europe/Japan frame swap with Carnival; their Italian/English/French frames are going for 600+! I wonder what Bob Jacksons cost in bulk...

Ye but they barely sell them, the same frames have been hanging there for months! I hear Yoppi the owner runs Carnival as a pet project, stocking it with whatever interests him, which I guess Is living the dream. Its crazy those Europian frames they have there there, very expensive. I sometimes talk with them about doing swaps and the names Bob Jackson and Colnago come up alot but they are tricky.

tokyofixedgear Ye close, only like $200 off.

yeah, not quite. njs frames blogspot charges £50 for a single frame with no insurance, njs export charges £60, again no insurance. so, yeah, not quite 90, but not 40 either. and you still have to account for import tax.

OK, I've bought a third frame and this time it's a 56cm, so my size. This means I'm selling both Vivalos and, as it looks like I have one firm buyer, this means one is left. Price is 375gn and first person to view gets the first choice of colour combination (white/white or white/purple). Both frames have BB (Sugino 75) and headset (Hatta).

I know I said the price would fall if I could sell both, but my frame was a bit more than I had hoped to spend, so unfortunately I'm being a ruthless capitalist and preserving my profit margin.

If people are interested, please let me know by next weekend, otherwise I'm probably going to try and do a commission sale somewhere.

does anyoen have a way of finding out how much import tax is for definite? im desperate to find out...souldnt there be a govt website where you can find out?"

Fucking Long URL for import duty and tax shite

OK, the white on white is sold. The blue on white is still available though, if people are interested.

cheers once again tom! looking forward to building it up when I can ever afford to!

I'd like to see these bikes... any photos?

Ebay - watch the hipsters (and me) flock. ;)

Bingo.

I'm flocking. :P

I'd like to see these bikes... any photos?

There are photos of Slaytanic's build all over the shop, it's got to be pretty much the most famous bike in London.

If someone wants one of these, I think that Phasergun Alex might have a friend selling one (they broke their leg or something and have been forced to retire from cycling for a bit).
