Yo Ceya,

Going to frame building school? Ganbate being the first foreign Keirin builder in Japan. Just read your pm. As much as I loved the Level frame, I sold it. I came home with a Watanabe along with the Iribei though. Awesome, awesome. Thanks again for cruising with me in Tokyo, buddy. Good times with Seiya, Nemoto-san, and Tomity. Still in the build up process right now. I realized that the NJS bb's have a 109 mm spindle so that kind of limited my crank choices. I wanted to build them up right so I now have 2 Sujino cranks on back order now. Got everything else... Dura ace cogs, Nitto bars and stems, Hatta... I'll post pics as soon as they get built. Going to Wisconsin for school in a couple weeks will seriously thow a wrench in things. Have to wait till I come back to Hawaii to visit. How do you ride your Kerin frames in the salt during NY winters without crying? Anyway, did you get a chance to hang out with my buddy Dre when he came up there? I think he's coming home soon and we'll probably plan a fixed gear ride or ss mtn ride next week. I have yet to transfer our Tachikawa velodrome pics onto my computer. Didn't even unpack all the way yet since I'm leaving anyway. Let me know if you're ok with having them posted on a public forum though.
