Deathhare, what rims are those?

Well, according to Carnival, the shop i got them at, theyre new Dia compe rims. I havent been able to find much info on them though. I do know that this color along with their blue, gold and a wierd silver are done specially for the shop. Same with their colors on the Dia Compe Gran Compe hubs they have. They ordered them special from Dia Compe according to the guy there. So you might not can get this color elsewhere. Dont know for sure.
The rims are similar to Velocity Aerohead but the shape is different.

So now that Suzue is closed down, who is carrying the "proverbial" torch?

Is is just DA? What else is out there coming from Japan?

deathhare, awesome makino. his cycle factory is down the street from my house, practically.

My local jitensya-ya is Makino-san's sattelite retail shop.

I just picked up a panasonic TANGE-1 frame. I need some help with taking it on a good direction. I also have a project to do for my girlfriend's birthday. How far are you from Joban line?

Hey thats cool..does the shop have good things in it?
The Joban line ends at Ueno i think. Im not far from Ueno at all. I can ride there in about 15 min.
What station do you live at?

I'm a train ride from ueno, over to abiko.

It's pretty far, but I live off of route 6 a long ways.

The shop has a lot of really really nice expensive manufacturer bikes, and the custom framebuilder is next door.

Yeah i see its about a 30 min. train ride to your station from Ueno. Ive ridden my bike out there near you a couple of times.
Let me know if i can helps ya.
Would like to see what youre building sometime.

Joban lines becomes the Chiyoda subway line once it passes Nishi Nippori. Make sure you catch the Abiko train. There are two Joban one that becomes Chiyoda another stops at Ueno.

S/F,
CEYA!

Yeah, im talking about the Joban too. The skin colored line

I know you are as that is the only train to Abiko.

I was letting you know that there are two of them one that becomes the JR line from the subway the other is Just the JR line (starts at Ueno).

The Chiyoda subway is better to take as it an go straight to Abiko.


S/F,
CEYA!

The newest sex object just arrived. This frame is in mint condition. Not a single scratch on it and wheels mounted maybe once.

I cant stop looking at it and im scared to ride it.

I didn't realize that's who owned it before you.

Is that Panasonic yours and is it for sale?

Nah, its not mine.

have any info on that panasonic?

But it is for sale.

are those lugs i see? how did they do that. that is amazing and cool lookin. are those web lookin things called gussets?

OH my... i'd give about anything for that.. including a kidney, lung... toes...........oh yeah, nuts too.

all that gusset work probably makes it a little heavier..

hey that's carrie's bike!

almost have all the parts i need to build her up.

yay for panasonic!

scott, NO MORE PICTURES UNTIL YOU BUILT IT UP.

gussets are pieces that are welded on as structural supports.

those look like fairings, which are pieces attached for aerodynamics. don't know what they're made of. curious frame, that - i'd assume it's not intended for keirin? thought that aerodynamic additions were a no-no.

I would guess bondo, fiberglass or some combination of the two. Maybe some chewing gum.
