Osaka or Nagoya?
 

So I will be in Japan in late March in these two towns. Anyone know where I could buy a keirin frame?

parkerlewis is in Osaka. Give him a shout... http://njsframes.blogspot.com/

Nagoya is pretty boring. There are no shops in Osaka that sell keirin frames either.
It is tough work! Did you want a new custom frame or used ex-race frame?

If you are in Osaka you could try to contact Nagasawa-san, he lives there and he makes keirin frames.

I believe that Levant and Panasonic are also based in Osaka.

Also you should go to the bike museum in Sakai while you are in Osaka.

Hi just to ride on the thread, i'll be in Kansai region in a couple of weeks, Osaka/Kyoto/Nara, anybody knows if the Ganwell factory still has used frames for sale? anywhere i can pick up some cheap used frames?

Track down a Zunow, damn damn rare and so so sweet.

why are these bikes so insanley expensive? Are they old frames that have been repainted and what not?

they are very nice

There's a shop called Darwin in Kyoto, but I bought my frame in Nagoya. Happy hunting.
