1.2s are incredible rims; good choice.

The latest sex from Japan. Its quite a large frame. Kaisei 8630. Full chrome under the paint.

Im not sure what im gonna do with it yet but right now just touching it is nice. ;)

frealz. After I built a wheelset with the 1.1's I am swearing by DT Swiss rims (and Mavic).

Wow, that's a great looking frame.

Does anyone know what deal is with Bridgestone/Anchor? Why are some Anchor and some just regular Bridgestone?

All the newest frames are Anchor now. I forget why.

how new is that frame? Its amazing, i think i just fell in love.. eek

damn that b'stone is awesome. 'bout my size too.

Im not sure. I dont know how to read Bridgestone/Anchor serial numbers. Based on the excellent condition and the fact that it says Anchor on it, i think its pretty new.
Maybe someone knows how to read their numbers.

How are you still getting frames from Japan? I thought you were living state-side, now.

Thru my yakuza ties. :D
Nah, i have in-laws and friends there. ;)

Just found out the frame was built in 2003.

WOW that Bridgestone is super fresh. Has it ever even been built up?

Yeah, but it appears to have been loved and cared for :) but has a couple of little scratches.

that bridgestone looks like a perfectly toasted marshmellow.

single speed for the gal pal.

sweet bike 128.

how tall is she? and where did you find that frame?
got another one for my 4'10" GF?

she chose it herself, ebay. 45cm square. i think shes actually a little too big for it (5'3" ish) but she insists shes comfortable. the saddle height looks right for her, and shes always out on the brake hoods so it works.

That bike is great 128. Perfect conversion.

Deathhare, you NJS-having mofo. I don't know when are you giving me a hard time for Rapha shorts when you have this cherry frame. Nice - hope to see the build soon.

are those 700's?
yeah 45cm does sound a bit small for someone who's 5'3"

lol :D

Yeah, but a frame lasts a lot longer than a pair of shorts.

yea... 700s. the frame slopes slightly upwards to accommodate them. she pretty much spends 100% of the time out on the hoods which puts her in a position she seems comfortable with. go figure. she obtained the frame on her own.

that anchor... nothing more can be said!


except give it to me :D

it seems like i find "the perfect frame" once a month on this forum and that bridgestone just become the frame for this month.
