Did you see the Pista with the twisted spokes, a while back? I was surprised that it kept getting posted for a week.

Are Dotek cranks any good?

not really

I can't believe I won. and at that price near built?! I just know I'm gonna wake up tomorrow morning in the 4th grade like "wow mom, I had a weeeird dream about something called a fixie?"

damn, that's crazy. maybe the fact that it is in japan kept the price down? i got a this for what to me seems like a hell of a deal... high quality tubing and a bit better worksmanship on the details than i've seen for most bridgestones, all at $580 shipped to the US.

well, let's see... taking out the prices of the components, looks like you paid somewhere around $600 just for the frame :eek::eek::eek:

at that size, condition, paint job, craftsmenship....trust me, I'm TOTALLY fine with paying that amount. don't be jealous :)

i think you got the wrong impression from my post. $600 for a 60cm Makino is an insanely good deal. Much better than anything you'll see Stratton charging for of that size, no matter what the builder (think quad digit prices with none of the extras).

anyone wanna give away some NJS parts to the next generation of keirin racers?

would this be at all worth it?

what about this?

im an idiot. i did misinterpret your post, my bad. yea, my initial thought when i saw that Makino and the 60cm size was "i REALLY want it, but i'll probably be spending a silly amount of money for it" in fact, my high bid was 1500. quite glad it turned out the way it did. im still in disbelief, though. just two weeks ago i saw a Gan Well at that same size, frame only, go for 1300-ish. strange.

^ but it has no 'petals', doesn't that automatically double the value?

****ers at yahoo auctions japan seem to have changed their policy---if you want to bid on anything over $50 or so, you have to register as a premium user at monthly fee of $3, *******s (yeah I'm cheap)

^hell yeah!

seattle rocks

ANYONE WANNA LOAN ME A GRAND?

Wow, that's a friggin' steal on that Basso.

Isn't this way overpriced??

beautiful frame set but 3k? buy a rolex or something

It's only over-priced if someone doesn't buy it. What it is is INSANE! $3350 for a 90s Cinelli? Granted it's NOS, but it's not exactly Cinelli's golden era. I bet there are a lot more frames like this, never built-up, sitting in shops around the country.

Dude.... 30$ for a univega frame that needs a paintjob for a project fixie/ss ? THATS A STEAL! just check for the usualy, bangs scraps dings etc... also watch out for the bb find out what threading it takes, make sure whatever is on it can be re-used or is it scrap.


good find on that

d'oh!

yeah, the same thing pissed me off yesterday trying to bid on a cheap Levant with the 70s-looking decals and some cranks. Damn.

I even tried to register but they rejected my two foreign issued credit cards. I sent an indignant email to the help desk and tehy wrote back saying you can do automatic furikomi too.

The 300 yen a month is waived till 2008 tho.......still sucks, but hey.

I have Japanese contacts, and have been thinking about importing frames.
