Phil the power taylor
 
I stumbled across this eBay store importing C&V lugged steel track frames and parts from Japan. The frames seem very reasonably priced, but I've never heard of most of these marques. Has anyone bought anything from this guy? How was the frame quality?

They are great to deal with, their website is NJS EXPORT I've purchased parts through their Ebay store and I've ordered a track frame and hubs through their website.

Parts and frame were exactly as described and I was very pleased with the condition. Shipping can be really quick if the parts don't get stuck in customs, my frame took less than a week but my parts order took 3 weeks as it was stuck in customs for 2 weeks which I was told is pretty normal.

Be aware that these frames and parts are all ex-Keirin track and may have some damage, all of which is noted in the descriptions.

I would order from them again in a heart beat.

Frame, stem, handlebar, seatpost, BB, Headset, hubs (waiting for rims) from them, posted these pics on FG/SS sorry for repost.

As I understand it, no racing on a dented frame.

same experience from me with this seller

Seller is very transparent on the condition and answers questions quickly on both auctions and their website

Recently picked up a Makino and Kiyo frame, neither had dents which is why I picked them up quickly

I was able to find a matching fork on his website, guess I could have saved them shipping costs if I had know for certain they were the same

The Kiyo frame and fork are both NOS, never been built up, a really good find

Haven't built up the Makino yet, a winter project, but will post pics when done

similar to this one, but less blue (replacing a too large Makino build 3rensho I sold few years back)
