I have never seen bridgestone track bikes...I'd heard about them, but had never actually seen one. How do they fare in terms of quality in relation to like a nagasawa? the one I linked looks awesome, IMO.

what do they translate to?

the bigger number on the top 123,375 Yen = $1,137.79
if you add the 47,000　 on behind the "853" (maybe tubeset upgrade?) 170375 Yen = $1,571.06
the second price is just my interpretation. I dont understand anything on the page. :rolleyes:

hmmm...that's weird...that's quite a bit cheaper than what they're charging on that site. I wonder if the frame comes with a bb and headset like the nagasawas do.

I think it's 127,050 Yen w/ tax= about $1200 for the frame, fork, hatta swan head set and sugino bb, you can also upgrade parts, tubing, finishes etc, and I think you'll still save quite a few $ as the Nagasawa frames I've seen are $2400ish.
