Hate to break it to you br995, but I don't think anyone is interested in a makino...so you could just give it to me!

is that Makino a 54.5 or 55 c/t seat with 55 c/c top tube?

Allow me to reiterate what's been said on this forum 1000 times... you could sell a used NJS-stamped athletic supporter on eBay for 5 times what you bought it for in Japan.

Seller said it was a 56 seat with a 54.5 top tube. Without a tape measurer here I can't tell you if that's right or if it's even c/t or c/c. I plan on picking one up soon, so i'll try to get back to you about that.

Much better than the blue/orange. It's amazing what a different paintjob will do.

it's 40/15 for now, but i'm moving up to a 42 as soon as i can. make you miss school? we just got a pounding snow-wise.

IT has a front brake, which means it might be a single speed. If youknow anything about the physics of 2 wheel'd machines you would know that the front brake has all the stopping power.

Yep. Got 'em from Kalavinka, so you can pretend they're NJS.
