Bikes: a bunch of track stuff.
crappy pic, but here's the latest addition to the stable. just finished yesterday.
54.5cm bridgestone
if its nice outside today i'll take some better ones, (perhaps with all the tags pulled off! and maybe even with the seat lowered to accomodate my limited stature)
i really need to work on getting accustomed to the drops, as i really like them on this frame, and think they are appropriate for the build... im just so used to risers on my daily driver that anything else feels weird.

actually... your right, it was being sold on eBay... I didn't bid close to the reserve price... the winning bidder didn't come through and I was one of the higher bids on the list... I ended up picking up the bike for less than half the price you mentioned... I figured it was a steal, no?

Ooh! Those Sansin hubs are rare even in Japan now. Have not been made for a while. After Sansin, Superbe Pro, Campa NJS hubs were all gone, only Suzue and Dura Ace remained. Now Suzue have closed down too!!!
Dura Ace is the only NJS hub manufacturer now.....

Deathhare, what were the hubs I got at the shop near makino? (I honestly don't remember, and they're not in the same state as me)
