I can't wait to go over to Japan. I've been waiting for such a long time.

Sers: Oh my. I am filled with glee now.

I've been there for a long time and can't wait to get back.

S/F,
CEYA!

I understand. I don't plan on staying there for more than a year though. Maybe shorter.

Thanks for all the kind words, everybody. I'm so glad it's done. I actually lost my job a month after I started building it, and had to put things on hiatus until I landed another one a month later. It's up on Velospace now, albeit with crappy pics. Check my sig.

Can you send a link to this please?

his myspace page:

soon he'll be moving to keirinculture.com

my level was from stratton

ya know..most of those used framesets go for about 3-400 bucks here.
Buy a plane ticket. ;)

I think D.Stratton's frames are really fairly priced then. He could probably make way more ebaying those bad boyz. Think of the mark up your LBS charges for frames and bikes.

You guys know everything!
