looks to be an 80s frame by the dropout and seatpost lugs
but that is only my guess.... the tange stickers to be from
some older frames as well but i could be completely wrong!!

I can't provide any information. Could it be an NJS Panasonic?

Love the bike though

Bikes: Several, mostly not name brands.

80's looks about right.

Panasonic made quite a range of bikes, from mass-produced consumer bikes to one-of-a-kind Keiren models. This looks to be to be one of the latter. Nice catch.

johndthompson - although it's difficult to tag a price to one of these frames... what's a reasonable current price?

to all others - if you fly over the pacific, you can have it for 2 dollars

They look like Mavic CXP22, pretty certain that they are Mavic. But they are non-machined?

I'd say it's worth between $500-$800

IIRC, Panasonic made pretty sweet frames back in the day. For $100 that's a slamming deal.

New versions of these go for about $1000, so I'd agree with PedalingATX and say it's worth around $500-700, maybe less since it's been repainted. Looks good, though, quite a find if you got a good deal on it!

Panasonic offered 2 track models in th USA, "1000" and "4000" This looks to be the higher end modal as the lower end was more like a road frame. 500-700 seems fair.

I'd say it was built in 1992.
