I'm guessing that they won't be taking int'l orders again for a LOONG time, what with the "wealthy Americans stealing the frames from the children" thing.

actually, the wealthy gaijin buys from ebay or CL and pay 700+, us po' folks are the ones willing to go through all the trouble of getting it from japan.

...this is true. Still, as far as they're concerned, it's still not what they intended e-framebank to be for, right? Po'folks w/jones for Keirin bikes != kids trying to make it in the world of Japanese track racing.

That being said: I want one.

Where are those rich , wealthy gaijin buys from ebay or CL and pay 700.00 plus. I have some frames for them.LOL

seriously if you see them tell them I have some stuff for them.

CEYA!

If you post it... they will come...

has anyone been here recently? I can't figure out the site anymore.

*pout*

Are there any other good used keirin sites out there? Reload is all out until April.

you'd go nuts if u just spent 500+ on a frame and than destroyed it not two weeks later...talk to rvabiker bout that

they re-did the site to make it VERY difficult for anyone who's not living in japan to get a frame...

Do you know if we can still order once we figure out the translation, etc.? Or would they simply not ship to the US?

(p.s. what about to Taiwan? I am going there for a month this summer.)

As I recall they want to keep the frames in Japan.

they do not ship international, period. you also won't be able to talk them into it.
e-framebank is there so frames can circulate within the japanese track scene, at
one point they were selling frames internationally because they had a lot in stock,
but now they are just for japanese track riders. you also have to fill out a form when
purchasing with your personal measurements, weight and stuff like that and its only
one frame per person. i got mine though an aquaintance who happened to be there
before the site was redone.

Travis ,

Is correct. I was speaking to keirin framebuilders last night about e framebank.
