I owned a white keirin frame for about 3 weeks. Man did it show the dirt! I figured people would pay more cash for sparkly colored frame jobs in Japan over a white one... White is the colour of the Japanese racing teams. Red for Italy, BRG for GB, etc. |

Anyone ever had a frame chrome plated? I wonder what i would cost to have done. Not as much as you would think. $250 tops in some cases. I personally like polished nickle, and skip the chrome overcoat. |
BTW, you really did miss out big time on my trade offer. That Guerciotti is serious, lol. I was only delirious for a moment.
Think I'm just going to build up a Cinelli frame next and move my NOS Gipemme grouppo over so the Guerc can rest. She's MINT...I mean museum quality...mint condition. Don't kid yourself about the brake hole.;) I'll be holding on to it for a loooong time. Nice Nag, still...all things considered. |
No worries here.
I'm not sure id feel happy riding an Italian frame. |

i mean id have all japanese parts on it anyway. just seems pointless somehow.
|
Yeah if yo mix that italian frame with japanese components. BOOM. Before you know it the whole thing could explode. Youre much safer this way.
*cough* So Serendipper. Youre trying to sell a Guerciotti? ;) What size? |

I met a guy who had his frame plated at an auto parts plater. It was "brushed nickel" and it looked very cool.

Built up (almost) from Christmas presents, lots of saving, and lots of waiting. All she needs is a new chain and a lockring and will be good to go.

I like those Levant logos a lot more than the current or newer ones i see. |

Any know what kind of threading Suntour Superbe hubs have?
|
Standard BSA threading. Just like 90% of the hubs out there.

this might be kinda neat.
Gran Compe's bid for NJS approval. 'angular bearings', not available yet..... |
Yeah i saw those...exciting. I hope they get in.
Theyre gonna sell like mad if they do. http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/1...ompepropu9.jpg |
It seems like a good idea. I mean, Dura Ace is the only current manufacturer of NJS hubs, right? Sounds like an un-tapped market, especially with NJS fetishism at near-fever pitch.

Oldsprinter brought us this pic of em back in November.
Been waiting to hear more. If theyre smart those blue stickers will come in 9 different color choices. http://bp0.blogger.com/_VSAfNTGmR7c/...0/IMG_6123.JPG |
