buying keirin frames is an expensive game, means the rest of the components have to come a little slower

for my next trick i'm going to destroy a perfectly good bridgestone keirin frame :smug:

I'd look at some recent sales on here, your pricing is off... Just preparing you for dissapointment, I reckon you'll be lucky to get £250.

the tyres make it look worse than it is, although they're not track forks, that was next on the list if i'd kept it.

been bitten by the bug and fancy building something a bit different so up for sale is my Kuwuhara fixed gear bike.

spec is as follows.

Kuwuhara frameset powdercoated in bright blue, Ishiwata Magny Magnesium steel tubing, similar to renoylds 531, very light and strong, triple butted.
Shimano UN54 sealed cartridge bottom bracket.
Shimano headset
40mm Wienmann pegasus deep V rims (from Varno)
novatec sealed bearing hubs (very smooth) with a flipflop hub (currently running a 16T sprocket and empty cartridge side)
wheels were built up to exact spec/colour, radially laced fronts, cross laced rears, black spokes, black hubs.
16c x 700c tyres.
Kashimax (rep?) saddle
46T chainwheel, can't remember brand etc but it wasn't a cheap one.
fresh OEM decal pack.

think that's everything.....only bad things i can mention is where it was shotblasted, there are a few marks where the water bottle and brake holes in the frame used to be, hardly noticable but thought i'd mention it.

the grip tape has a few tears, but i'll replace this before the bike is sold

collection from Wapping high street, E1, london

Would be interested in a swap with an NJS stamped 23" frame for the next project

£500

had a 'moment' where the BB seemed to have cross threaded (fucking shitty UN54 plastic caps) but we're all good now. only thing left is the griptape which has been in the post for the last 2 weeks :x

my current project next to one of my other current projects....

kuwahara frame (ishiwata magny tubing)
kashimax aero saddle
vanos supplied 40mm deep V's with novatech hubs
700cx18c tyres

going to pop in a UN54 BB tomorrow. not sure on ratio, i used to run a 52/12T chainwheel/sprocket, but i'm up in the hills now so that'll go out the window, i'll probably start with a 46/18T and work it out from there :D

not sure on grips yet....

is the opening post still the same offer? i.e colours etc?

woah that's awesome. thanks :D

i'll do it. send me an email at latham@itsalmosttime.co.uk. do you want it printing or applying also?

didnt think to put it in the projects thread as i'm just after a bit of info for now, when i start building it up i'll be sure to put some pictures up for you.

according to the part number decode it's a july 82 frame.

that looks awesome, not too keen on the fonts but i'll definately try to keep the chrome, however it's pretty knackered.

after my last frame was too big (25", lol) i got searching for something that'd fit me that wasn't made out of lead, which lead me to this fella.....

made out of a magnesium steel and perfect size-wise (not to mention the flounder on the head badge!) i handed over £50, but not really knowing anything about it, so now i turn to you kind people to see what you know? i've searched on here and on the net to very little avail, there's a few bits about the tubing (ishiwata magny V) but not much else.

i've a kashimax saddle to go on it to keep it nice and japanese but i'd like to know a bit more about the brand so i can keep a bit of continuity with the rest of the components.

anyway, some more pictures :D

i just bought a frame because of its headbadge

i used to ride a 52/12 and didn't have a problem with it at all, worked out to like 117GI, i've dropped it down to a 46/12 which is like 103GI and it seems too light. i'm more of an anerobic excersizer but i dunno. don't think i could live a 70 or an 80.....

postie delivered me a new chain today

so i took the old girl out for a sputz, i was expecting the 12/52 ratio to be insane, but it wasn't too bad actually, i can't get up hills, but my journey doesn't have any so that's fine.

need to tighten up the crank bolts, i don't have a socket that can fit inside the crank arm as it's quite tight. that didn't stop me zooming about the place on it

need some decals for the downtube & head now, grand total: slightly under £60

think i broke photobucket, if you hit F5 a cuttla times it should show up. ooops.

falcon sent me a load of period stickerage and a head badge FOC too, which was nice of them

it's a falcon i found in my 'rents new place in one of the sheds. looked like this when i dug it out, CW D-lock

(sorry for the terrible picture)

i was in 2 minds whether to get rid of the original patina but my temptation to take everything apart got the better of me.

as everything else is rusty/pitted i'm probably going to have the lot powder coated black, white handlebar tape and the original red/white/black saddle cleaned up quite nicely.....

it nearly ended up yellow

only other cost items right about now are a new stem (had to cut the old one out as it was siezed stuck) and new headset, and if budget can afford a new set of pedals and a seatpost.

i'd like to think it'd be done for under £50 as a self budget, because it was a free bike it'd defeat the point a little if i were to throw a load of cash at it

costs incurred so far: £15 including the bike. a fiver on a track hub and a tenner on a cuttla cans of paint.
