Looking to buy my first fixie - living in Japan at the moment & thinking about this...

any advice or comments? I know it's single speed and not fixed gear, but that can be changed easily, no?

vely nigh!

I heard that there are lots of fixed gears in Japan.

Go used and buy something radical

A Japanese speced Gios! MAMA MIA!
Looks nice....how much locally?

680 bucks for that? i dont know man..i think you can do better.
And the biggest size is 52cm. I hope youre short.

wait for it.....wait for it....

you should get a kilo tt!

Waaah....sugoi ja! Jiosu no esu esu.

thanks for the comments... no super high praise, so i think i will stick it out and go the used route. However, it's a little hard to find something in the price range i'm aiming at and I found a shop which has a gios connection of some kind so they can drop the price below 60,000 yen.
i do love that blue though

Are you in Tokyo?
While in Tokyo, I put together a complete NJS Makino for way less than the cost of that Gios.

very interesting. yes i am in tokyo, and have this sunday and monday off. where should i be looking?

yeah right.you're in japan man!used njs frames aren't that much over there, are they?

been looking on yahoo autcions but only in the 60 70 thousand range, and only for a frame (;´??)

Over here it is not as cheap as it used to be anymore. I think under 60,000yen is a really good price for that. When you get bored of it you can throw it on Yahoo and probably get what you paid.
OP I am in the outskirts of Tokyo. Where are you?

What's up with the cyclocross geometry. lookit the clearance. fake gios?

im in shinjuku
