I was on your side until the flames showed up.

tsk tsk.

Unimpressive, especially at that price.

i almost always hate gussets but those arent too bad

that thing is stupid looking

those flames are so SICK OMG!






meh that frame doesnt do anything for me.

The flames make it faster. I want.

well that is not as mysterious as the seller makes it out to be now is it

hype. haha

those flames are tacky as hell. i do like the lugs or whatever they are called =P

has anyone seen any other gusseted steel frames with or without diamond tubing, i have been hunting. but havent come up with much. and most of the other makinos i find are standard tubing

meh, i do like the frame minus the paint job. at $1000 though, it's too hard to justify actually paying for it... ****ing keirin frame inflation. i'm sure the prices are about to start dipping again now that winters starting.

I know Im going to get it but I like the frame as is :D its different, I like different :) (but Ill have to admit that the price is WAY to high!)

The flame paint job sucks but I'm loving the double "aero" seatstay bridge.

I think the price is dipping because there are SO MANY ****ING TRACK BIKES now. And once a few companies get their lugged Maxway frames out on the internet, I expect prices to drop even further.

that frame is fricking rad. the flames are a bit much though

that frame is absolutely incredible. it makes me so happy to see craftsmanship going into frames that goes beyond shaped lugwork (which i also love). who cares about that paintjob when you've got that tubeset? the bottom bracket cluster alone is worth it alone. there is so much skill and innovative design put into that bike that i would be honored to ride it. and did andrew say the price is $1000? considering what it would cost to get something like that custom built in the states, that's not as outrageous as it could be. its certainly worth more than your average tange prestige and long shen lugged njs frame.

but you guys are totally right, its not nearly as cool as your kilo tt.

I'd buy it but I'd be afraid all the bums would piss on it trying to put the fire out.

I think the flames are really nice, but like I said, I like different :D whats so great about everything being liked by everyone? the reasons most of you dont like the frame are prob the reasons the OP likes it :) I ride a bike thats not worth a second look to most of you but I still ride it, and Ive seen more than a few bikes right here on this forum that I think are butt ugly, but Id ride with any of them in a minute! :) if you like it, and can get it anytime in the future, Go for it! Ill be looking for you on the road! ;)

lifes not fair, all the good frames are avail for tall ppl.

Nice frame. I like designs from Nippon.

Hmmmm.....

lifes not fair, all the good frames are avail for tall ppl.

52/54 is definitely not tall.

Check out Pegoretti frames (www.competitivecyclist.com). This is a me-too design thing.

That thing could have Nascar on the downtube. Those flames are terrible.

The last thing I think about in a frame is the paint...repaint that jazz, add stickers and a clearcoat and voila...I mean "yatta desu!"
