what is this odd frame I just bought?
 

Here is the Ebay link:

Ever seen this before? Is it crazy? Am I a genius or a fool?

it's a fine line...

In other words, you have no idea if thats a good frame or not.

There are some cool old miyatas on this page. I think you did ok.

what are you going to do with it? build a beater ?

I think $130 is a bit too high myself.............

erm, roger that- no idea.

but it looks cool, and if there's one thing I've learned on BF this month its thats all that matters.

hehe :D

Actually, only $80, since no shipping costs.

Not really sure what I will do with it. I do have a vague plan to set up another fixed gear beater. Seems like it might be fun for that.

I think you'll just have to make sure to stick with the odd colors so that NOTHING matches.

If its japanese it gotta be good.

RR.

I will see this frame in person later today, at the pickup. But, it is described as a cast aluminum frame. Is that true? Must be heavier than a normal frame? Is there any advantage to such a frame, other than the fact that it is unusual? Anyone ever own one?

thanks,

jim
