Offered: Anyone want stuff from Japan?

had a few people interested in Nitto stuff, and postage for a seatpost, to England is £10 or so.

so, anyone want anything, i can ask at the local lbs.. they can get the nitto s65 post, and a bunch of different bars, plus, well, loads of different stuff, but NJS stamped stuff doesnt seem very common (all the arrospok bikes here seem to have Easton stuff on)

anyway.. shout if you want me to look for stuff. its no real effort, lbs is pretty much on the way to work

Can you get NJS school girl's panties?

you are 10 years too late i think, tis illegal now :P

56cm Bridgestone/Panasonic/Samson Keirin frame, matte black, no decals please! ;)
Seriously tho', if you see a Keirin frame in that size in black (not necessarily matte, I know that's almost impossible) please, please, please pm me...
You da man! Joe :)

ill ask around

ill ask around

I'll say it again, you da man... :)

You're hanging out in the wrong bars.. ;)

Hippy I have some office worker panties that my mates bought me back from Tokyo. can do you a good price still sealed in the packaging. Only used once so to speak... OOOHHH.

Is it really? When my mate was out there (granted, a long time ago) you could get them in vending machines!?!

Speculative, but I don't mind taking a dump in my strides for a tenner ?

When I was there in '04 you could buy porno videos from vending machines but I never found the panty machine.

That's sick enough that if I handed you a tenner I bet you wouldn't do it..

Can I have your white SLR beforehand just in case you really want to prove me wrong? :)

yeh. they stopped the panty vending machines.. although, in Tokyo, im sure you could find some easily.

Out it Kobe, its all rather more 'normal'.... beer in vendinmachines is ALWAYS good though.

The lbs was kind enough to give me their parts catalogue.. so.. just ask and i can give you the price!

Lots of Nitto, Soma, Dixna, Grunge stuff.. dunno if any of that appeals. Postage for most things will be under a tenner, and thats for 2 day express!

I lived in Tokyo in 2005, and you can't get them anymore. I asked a lot of people about them too - perhaps specialist shops in Kabuki-cho (in Shinjuku) have set up contrived vending machines to replicate the situation though, I'm not sure. You certainly can't get them on your average Tokyo street.

Er, just to clarify, I didn't want no schoolgirls' knickers, I was just intrigued by it and people back home kept asking about it.

How much cheaper would this be than buying from ebay or whatever?

I'm very soon going to be in need of a Jaguar stem, Sugino 75 cranks and chainring, Nitto seatpost, pedals and straps. Possibly Dura Ace hubs and Araya rims too.

Would it save me loads?

Really?!? jaw drops I've been quoted $1000... Where's that from? Thanks man, Joe

£400 is about $1000

£400 is about $1000

US$1000 is about £500 at the moment... US$800 is a bit closer to my budget...
