Well, i think that Kalavinka is having all this Nitto stuff anodized so maybe you can only get it at their shop.
Oh yeah. Post a pic of the sista frame please. Id like to see it.

Not the best photo, and this was still a beta-build, before
I tracked down a proper 26.6 seatpost, but here you go:

Also, can you even buy Nitto risers in the US?

Nice bike..i was thinking they were the same color. Her's has a 27.2 seat post. Weird.
Nitto risers in the US? I dont know..anyone know?

ooohhh... yeah, nice risers!

Love that stem too! What is it?

ive been looking for the last hour for the nitto risers in US, shipped to US, anything. so far haven't found jack

somewhat related, my brothers friend is in Kyoto going to college. does anyone know if there is any good stuff to be found there? ive also been looking for bikes/shops in Kyoto by my silly american monolingual self is having not such good luck.

I just remembered that Reload used to offer some imported
Nitto stuff. Sure enough, they have a listing on the website
for Nitto risers, but they're "out of stock," and I don't think
they're coming back.

The stem is some odd Nitto i came across in a shop the other day. Id never seen one so i picked it up for her. May use it, not sure yet.
Maybe i should import Nitto risers. :)

Y's Data in Sibuya had one like that but with Nitto engraved on the sides as well. I thought about it, walked out, went shopping, then changed my mind and went back and it had been sold.

Has anyone ever seen a keirin frame smaller than 50cm? cuz I haven't...and I want one..but I'm little..and 50 is just a little bit too big for me :(

Check keirinculture.com. I saw a 49cm 3Rensho on there once.

!!! man that would be nice...
I check out that site quite frequently..but for the last few months Ive only seen 50cm...if they're even that small...is 49 the smallest you've seen? cuz even a little smaller than that would be cool..but I don't think anyone makes them THAT small... and I SO can't afford a custom frame ;)

How 'bout a nice chrome 49cm San Rensho. Pity it's sold.

That is the old Metro Bikes sign in NYC.

S/F,
CEYA!

OMG! GIMMEE!!

How much are gold nitto risers at Kalavinka?

Deathhare will chime in with the correct answer, but I think somewhere in the 4000-6000yen range. (yeah, that's a big range. sorry:()

Not that big. 33-50 dollars? I think I'm going to have to send Liz to get me some for the superbling build.

She apparently just won a frame on Yahoo. And if you work it out with her, I can pick you up a pair and have her pay me back. I gotta head back to Kalavinka this weekend to pick up a Makino they're respacing for me.

Hell yeah she did. Nagasawa. It's so freaking hot. I'm going to hump it when she gets back. She's going to go grab them, but thanks. They speak English there? And do they have other affordable gold components?

Nagasawa-san (no relation to Liz's new frame) knows some English, but he's kind of weird. And I don't know about other gold parts, never really looked.

I got the gold Nitto risers. 6000yen

I want a set! How can I get some? Let me know!
