I also just got my new commuter, a trek 420, for $75 last week. Also local pickup only.

what'd you do with the chainrings?

I got a pair of velocity fusions laced to nashbar hubs for 92 bucks shipped. They're in great shape and true, too.

I think they went for so cheap because the guy said, "these hubs have OLD bearings" in the listing as opposed to O.L.D. or something so that people knew he meant the type of bearings and not that they were just really ****ing old.

Selling one of those "Puma Fixed Gear" guides for $40 a few years ago.

Deep Vs for $90 shipped a few years ago.

That sounds like an awesome score. Does it have gears? If I decide to coast I want a bike with gears so i keep looking for a good bike, maybe vintage steel but not sure I could deal with down tube shifters. OK, that's another thread entirely.

how does that work being that the site and currency are japanese?

Yep, geared. It's a '97, so not really vintage, but a solid cro-mo frame. It's designed to be a sport-tourer which means braze-ons for my rack and fenders and geared for touring rather than racing. Pretty much the perfect commuter.

As for DT shifters, they take about 5 minutes to get used to and they're lighter and more reliable than brifters. As long as you're not racing there's really no downside to them.

well i had a nagasawa frame on the way.... and i ended winning the auction for around 180$ converted...then with middle man fees and "free shipping" as it was thrown into the same EMS box = around 215$ shipped for all the said parts

i used to troll YAJ ALOT, looking for frames and parts and google translator was my best friend kinda. i still needed a middle man to ask questions to the seller about frame dents and what size et cetera. middle man fees killed =\. those blogspot guys who have japanese bank accounts and then EMS to america are winnars at the importing game forsure.

i sold all of them the rings for 50/ea except for the 49t 7710 ring which is seen on the nagasawa in my signature.
