Panasonic NJS

I got the number from the post office and rang myself.

Depends on the carrier. Sometimes the courier will turn up with the item and an invoice, but increasingly now it seems that they will post you a letter telling you how much you have to pay, which you can do online.

is there anywhere in the uk that sells these..?

im guessing not..

Not that I'm aware of no.^

^^ cool. Gonna do what tom suggested tomorrow and call Coventry.

Interesting build, look forward to seeing what's gonna come of it.

Did something similar with a Fondriest Track frame as well (road drops etc.): http://www.lfgss.com/thread89601-2.html. Also with Bontrager SS VR-C, inspired by superjoes bridgestone :)

Did you find a seatpost by the way? Looking for a 27.2mm with two bolts as well. The single bolt setup seems to be a real pain in the ass to adjust.

How do customs get in touch with you? Genuine question. I don't think I wrote down a phone number when ordering....

Currently at customs. Hopefully I could have it on Saturday but I doubt it.

just been through this myself, mine was posted 29/09 Japan, cleared Coventry customs 01/10 & delivered to my local Parcelforce 02/10 ,the letter informing me how much i had to pay while they held it to ransom, supposedly 1st class arrived 04/10, fingers crossed its delivered today 05/10
customs duty £15.71, VAT £88.07, CLEARANCE FEE £13.50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( I spose thats for taking twice as long to get it from Coventry to me than the Japanese did to get it to them, if it turns up today,(fingers double crossed))

There are tonnes of good 27.2 2 bolt seat posts my friend?! Haven't got one as of yet no. S65 or sp72 are my only Japanese options. Or a kalloy undo if I'm feeling cheap. Sp72 is the only 2 bolt though.

I got a 65... shiny :D:D:D

Wanna sellz? ;-)

or you could get suntour superb dat jap no?

haz njs

Wanna sellz? ;-)

only received it yesterday!!

Gutted, they'll probably get nicked in Coventry.
I had the deliverly company say I needed to pay for it or customs send you a letter themselves.

What is up.

Broby C60's laced to carbon fibre Suzue Pro Max hubs:

Going for Nice Japanese Slave then...

Any chance of a shot with these on the frame? am excite, gonna be mad shiny sparkly....

When you've built this up I want to set up a photo you, me & TM with our Panasonics.

Yeah man on the NJS ride when we get it sorted.

I don't get the issue with the dropouts, mine must be different because I've had Paul's, Hed's, Super Record and DA hubs in there all with no probs...

Yeah will be uploading one tonight :-) I just couldn't resist the slave after seeing SKULLS Condor build. Was so sexy.

No doubt! We will get it done definitely.

Can't wait for this ride! Will be sick. I know it's weird. Aerotracks and Zipp fitted. Maybe these axles are just mad big.

Update: Called Parcelforce, they said it's still with customs and realistically they can't see me having it until the end of next week. Fuck that shit! Wanted this completely on Saturday. Booooo. Next weekend, fingers crossed!

yeah, sold the campag as was 27.0 and didn't want to overtighten the clamp.

So how much Nice Japanese shit do you need exactly for this ride?

I don't think it'll really matter, like the slave rides it will just be an excuse to get together.

If haz NJS is bonus.

Was expecting NJS frame to be compulsory, that would be rad, if we were all on NJS.

But not everyone has great taste,* so all track bikes welcome.

*/s

But not everyone is a wannabee keirin rider paying over the odds for used parts so all track bikes welcome.

is that what you meant?

#jealousthatNJSframesdontcomeinmysize

Haha laughed.

You wrong.

Yeah, all NJS ride would be cool... but elitist.

Maybe that's the point, but was thinking of tying it in with a "nice steel/steel is real" ride...
