Bridgestone NJS frame being auctioned in aid of Tsunami relief

I know it's not cool to post my own listing, but I'm not benefiting from this.
My old bridgestone keirin frame for sale on ebay. All proceeds to go to Japanese Earthquake & Tsunami Relief Fund.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/190513383544

This is a charity auction, and all the proceeds from this auction will go directly to Global Giving Japanese Earthquake & Tsunami Relief Fund.

I'm parting with this much loved Bridgestone NJS Track bike frame. It was built for a Japanese Keirin Racer in 1999.
I have owned this frame for the last 5 years and it has been raced mostly at London's Herne Hill Velodrome.
I now have a custom made bike and this one's gathering dust in our living room. as much as I hate to see this go, it's not getting used and I'd rather see the money this could raise go to a good cause.
The frame has a numerous paint chips mostly from storage and a bit of rough handling, and partly because of rather thin & fragile Japanese paint, which is an amazing pearlescent yellow, this needs to be seen in daylight to be truly appreciated.
No dents or rust.
Comes with Hatta Swan headset and Sugino 75 BB.

Pickup only from Forest Hill or possibly from Herne Hill velodrome on weekend.

The geometry is as follows.
Seat tube 505mm C-T
Top tube 525mm C-C
Chain stay 390mm
Seat angle 75
Head tube angle 73
Fork rake 37mm
Rear OLN 120mm
Front OLN 100mm

who said it's not cool to post your own listing?

If it's track specific gear you think the trackies would be interested in then it's fair game...

This is not the ebay thread...

Seen this frame many times down at HH, and it is a beauty... The photo doesn't do the colour justice.
And this is coming from someone who hates steel frames!

It's still a tarck bike though, if you sell the Fuji you need to buy a road bike...

Somebody got a bargain!
