Anyone know what the shipping from Japan to the Stats (Guess it's about the same to Europe) for a hole bike?

deathhare 03-07-07 07:10 AM

That Nagasawa will sell for 4 times that at least. I watch em everyday. ;)

It cost about $80 to have my frame shipped over.

Yep...which is for air. Which is the best way to do it unless you wanna wait 6 weeks while it sits on a boat in the Pacific. :)
For a complete bike it would be more, of course. Youd be best to ship it in two separate boxes. One with the wheels, the other with the rest. There are size limits of course. Total would be in the range of 100 bucks id guess.

Ive 03-07-07 11:09 AM

Thanks.. I know i will go for more then 200$, was just curious..
But are you shure it's 100$ for both, when the frame alone is a 80$ ??

Well if not I hope someone does that ****, I ain't got time to write about bikes.


thats awesome..

I want a movie made based on a romance novel of victorian women who have secret lovers (their bikes) and who leave their husbands for the thrill of riding their bikes on bumpy roads

a secret love affair if you will.. and tons of british accents


oh Victoria we shan't let reginald know that we took the back road to the bakery today.. oh how saucy..

No, im not sure, but it shouldnt be that much more. Maybe 150. Depends on the weight.

Ive 03-08-07 02:37 AM

Okay cool, thanks :) Just doubted it a bit, because i calculated it to 314$ on Usp's homepage. But was in one box, on 60x18x35 inches..

What is Usp?
Did you mean UPS? If so, they suck balls. I never send via UPS. They are a total rip off.

Nice one;) But don't know anybody else, I have newer shipped outside my homecountry (Denmark)..

deathhare 03-08-07 07:00 PM

Yeah, from here, EMS is what i use. Theyre so great compared to UPS. Theyll even come to my home and pick it up for no extra charge.

since got around to getting the front tire aligned proper like. contis need more strechting than any tubular i've used.

onetwentyeight 03-08-07 08:46 PM

hehe. both your tires are still off a little. the valves arent perpendicular to the rims. it really helps to stretch the contis for a good day or so at least, and then when you put them on start at the valve and work around. its a pain. nice looking ride.

i meant after i took the pictures. i dry stretched them for 24 hours, and started at the valve hole as usual, but they got a bit misaligned when i was stretching the final portion onto the rim. a conti spokesman told me that they run tight and to strech them for 48 hours.

onetwentyeight 03-08-07 09:04 PM

heh. i feel your pain, ive done it too.

DoshKel 03-08-07 10:21 PM

Hey 128, is it possible to stretch them on a clincher rim, or would something bad happen? I don't have an extra tubular rim around, so what could I use?

i think that it would be difficult to get a fresh tire to fit over the flanges of a clincher rim

deathhare 03-08-07 10:40 PM

Do you run these on the street?

kludge 03-08-07 10:43 PM
