yeah you can get a brand new legit njs frame for cheaper than that, you can get a custom kalavinka for about £150 more
hes not taking orders anymore at the moment, too busy (eta is over 20months iirc)

the HT doesn't look that bad, it's the shit load of rake that will probably make it look wank. Undrilled touring forks anyone?

Who are you referring to, Indra? If I can get a £500 custom track frame, I will get a £500 custom track frame.

Gresty was after a Goff, and ended up with a 14R... Could be a curse.

I would not say cheaper than that. My slightly dinged makino was about 800 pounds after shipping from japan and taxes

with all the bitching about the dosoventa geometry and how it looks, has anyone actually tried riding one and knows what it's like?
-
• #31437
Isn't your makino quite a new one though? 2007? You could get an older NJS frame and more in the style of that dos for cheaper probably. Also i know what i'd rather own out of that and yours.

my slightly dinged Makino was about 400 all in

^^^Or you can call Steve Goff's house phone and get a £400 custom..... I did, and am very happy with it. If you can't be arsed to pick up a phone, tough, buy a Mielec chunk of shit or similar!

mielcs aren't hunks of shit anymore, recon this one is well up there with the top quality frames
-
• #31441
^That's the least worst Mielec I've seen, the owner could even go mad and buy one that fits him/her next time....
-
• #31442
this one isn't aweful either
-
• #31443
Can't believe we are comparing Mielecs with hand built British steel.
-
• #31444
^Again, seen worse, at least the saddle and bars are level. The bars are also miles too high for a lo-pro. If this is a custom build the owner should have specced it with a much shorter head tube to lower the bars. If the seat tube is supposed to follow the curve of the wheel, perhaps it should....
Look, I'm not a Mielec hater, but if you have a custom made it should fit you. That's why picking up the phone makes sense, why pay the same money for a lesser frame?
-
• #31445
the point is mielecs don't cost £400. or anywhere near that, i got nothing against goff and his frames are obviously bargains.
-
• #31446
for the price mielecs arent bad.
cheaper than a lot of OTP which aren;t as well made -
• #31447
I'd rather have a pre cursa than a mielec

most of the people who owns a mielec just copying "famous" geometries without adapting it regarding their body measurements or needs.
