I'll take it if the payment falls through... prays

Cornelius, that is very true. I just wanted another opinion to make sure I wasn't getting totally ripped-off. to be honest, i was so infatuated by the massive number of desirable frames on the site, that I hadn't thought that this one might have been crashed.

When the frame is all the way over in Japan it undoubtedly helps to have someone more knowledgable to give you a few hints. it would be like buying a house with only a glance-over because you fell in love with it at first sight. Then only to have a surveyor come tell you it's full of rot and is going to end up costing you about 3 times what it did in the first place!

Now that I've thought about this frame a little more, I think I would prefer to buy something that I could see and touch first!

Uh-oh... big dicussion coming on!

Why would the Japanese learn from the Italians? I'm not arguing your point, Ed, just curious.

i've ridden a couple of Vivalos and they ride sooo sweet. Admittedly, I haven't ridden a Mercian or Bob, but the detailing on the Vivalo has swung me.

So... maybe I should check out Bob - I like the idea of custom and new!

Pending sale of some bike/random stuff, I'd like to get a Vivalo.

After searching around on this forum it seems like the guys njs-keirin blogspot or whatever it is have the most reliable business going on.

This frame here works out to about £510 with shipping.

http://njs-keirin.blogspot.com/2009/08/vivalo-silver-grey-no2.html

Would I be better off getting an Italian number from BLB or Tour de Ville? £500ish seems like a lot for a frame that is slightly marked and 8 years old!

Wise opinions please!

splitting is the way forward then, i thought it might be but it is a whole lot more bother. i think i might keep some of the parts for the new bike.

thanks guys.

haha.

all i want is a rough estimate, i've never sold a whole bike before. will i be losing out massively, or not.

all the bikes sold on here are relatively old so it's kinda hard to gauge.

please ignore my other thread.

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of getting a NJS frame from the guys over at njs-keirin.blogspot and thus I think I'm going to have to sell my current bike.

It's a 2008 Fuji Track Pro with all the original parts except:

Fizik Arione Saddle
Truvativ Hussefelt Bars
Oury Grips
Thomson Stem
Thomson Seatpost
KMC Chain

All in all about £280 of upgrades on a £700 bike.

What do you think this puppy would be worth?

I need to work out if it would cover my costs (sort of at least!).

Its a size 58cm.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Sweet looking Vigorelli - high starting bid!

I have an uncle going to Tokyo in a week or so... Does anyone know a link or a number for somewhere in the city that does Nagasawa frames?!

Are they cheaper to buy in Japan?

I'm after a track (possibly keirin) frame in size 56.

Thanks!

Fair call. I bought them at full whack from my LBS and this does include nearly £20 worth of cleats and they are the 2010 models..

Price reduced to £100inc local delivery.

Hi Guys,

I have for sale a new pair of Shimano R160 SPD-SL shoes (road type) in silver, size 47.

These are 1 level down from their top of the range shoe and are amazingly stiff and lightweight.

They feature a full carbon sole and heat mouldable heel and sole (Condor cycles can sort them for you).

They haven't yet been moulded and worn on one v.short ride on which I realised that they were too small, hence the sale.

I will include a pair of Shimano cleats (if you want them, otherwise I'll keep them) which retail around £15 and the shoes themselves go for £160.

I'm offering these as new, perfect condition for £115 ono.

Collect Central London or I could deliver if needs, no postage.

Pm me if interested, first PM has first dibs.

Nice Gina... What size is the frame? It looks tiny!

I just like the absolute convenience of the strapless pedals... I ride the bike only for short distances. On other fixies I have/normal bikes I have clips and yes, they are way more efficient but for this beater which is a hop on/hop off bike, I think flats are fine.

What would be the advantages of a strap on this sort of bike?

Cheers guys... The chain is actually slacker than it looks (for some reason) and has now been moved back a bit more in the dropouts.

This is my 3rd fixed wheel bike and I find that I can ride quite happily without foot retention (with a front brake), although I do have clips on my other bikes.

Here's the Peugeot I bought from BleakReference some months ago.

It's had very little spent on it - mainly parts that I already had bar the c/ring and sprocket and tyres.

The seatpost (24.0mm) proved impossible to find apart from the one on ebay that went for about £50! So... I made one out of an old handlebar and then put an old-style saddle clamp on top of it and it works pretty well.

Just waiting on a brake cable now and then I'm sorted. I think it looks quite tidy and it actually rides nicely, a lot more responsive than I thought!
