Doesn't seem unreasonable to me, at all. Consider what a "market high" eBay price might be for something like that and it seems like a very fair deal. It's a pretty darn nice frame, imho.

fugazidave, i think that you officially own my favorite NJS bike.

I do feel the love :) Wait til the next batch comes in... can you say Nagasawa? I knew you could!

:D

fugazi dave.. what happened? i guess hang out here long enough and the steel appreciation wears off.. that bike rules.. and im into the mismatched wheels

Drastically improved pictures of the Panasonic. Yay for very bright but overcast days!

More of the Panasonic in the link in my sig for those interested.

one of the best looking frames I have ever seen, the seatcluster is superb, now find me one

Thanks for the compliment... I'm super, super happy with it.

(What size? :))

Amazing bike. I must say, I wasn't impressed when I saw the first photo, but this one really does it justice.

May I suggest a change in top tube protector? That bike is too pretty for electrical tape. Try wrapping a small section of the top tube with a couple of layers of cloth tape, then twine over the whole thing. I recently did this on my own bike, and am pretty happy with the results.

Here's info on how to wrap twine: http://www.fellini.net/twine/

the panasonic is gorgeous!

Here's my 4 rensho, or shi rensho if you prefer.
Obviously much more rare than all those 3 renshos out there.
4 consecutive victories! notice there are 4 circles with the number 1.

This is my new baby. It's seen some better days, but I hope to resurrect it, slightly less NJS than it's previous life. I'm getting the rear triagle respaced and the track ends filed to accept a 120/10mm rear wheel. Some more pics are at my flickr page.

this is fuuking hilarious....SO RIGHT

why, because they have Sugnino RD cranks on there... :D

actually they're DA road cranks. but they're still road cranks.
and i paid $400 for the decals.

actually had no clue what they were, just talkin ****... :D

whoha! Alot of beauties here today! Yay! And yes sashae, overcast days are the best, like a huge flash bouncer. That Panasonic really got a face lift with the stem/bars and seat. Nice one!

There is actually enough metal in the world to build a bike this big.

65 cm c-t Bob Jackson. I might post more pictures if I get around to taking a better set of photos. It's been taking care of London's roads and the occasional polo match for a year and a bit.

yea that panasonic is nice

Well, this certainly isn't the caliber of some of the other bikes posted here, but here's mine:

I like it.

i just put new nitto bullhorns on my georama. my stem is bunk i need to replace it.
the stem i want on it is on my drops but i don't want to take off the diamond wrap.
hah.

Yea it is, other than th at, that thing is freessshhhhh. I dig two tone bikes.

iamtim, what cranks are those on your dawes?

That is a really sweet bike. Actually 4 is a really unlucky number in Japan. Just a tidbit.

no the proper pronunciation would be "yon rensho"
