Thanks Ingleside. I didn't realize companies did that. Really I'm just kinda pissed that I missed out on the better components. I got it new for a ridiculously low price though so I'm not too worked up about it.

And about the abundance of nice frames in Japan? You have to be somewhere other than where I am located to get the sexy 3rensho and nishiki frames. (I am located in what might as well be part of Russia.) Nice, cheap NJS frames are not nearly as abundant here as everyone believes they are.
