That is quite a nice idea of them, especially as most people won't be able to order a custom frame from Panasonic's own website.

One of my friends ordered one direct from Panasonic and it is a very nice frame indeed.

I know what you mean, it is too black, would have been better with silver bits.

Nagasawa with Nagasawa chainring and Araya Carbon rims. Currently for sale!!!

This bike is going to end up in anti.

Why bother trying to force something to fit when you can sell and get something that will fit you perfectly?

think Vivalo was trying to question HHC's mad idea of it being too good to build, too good to go on a wall.

That is indeed what I was going for.

Hey Dom,

I wish I could have made it down for that last event, awesome to meet Nagasawa-San, Eddie should have gone too because Nagasawa is meant to be replacing a few tunes on his frame sometime soon!

Nice. Frame is nice enough to look aswsome on its own.

Yeah it seems a shame to even build it up as it will never live up to the frame.

Its great. And now the possibility of victory is unlimited.

As someone who has lived in Tokyo for over 10 years, that phrase is very embarrassing! Makes me want to get my bike resprayed and have Makino's other decals applied.

Electric, you can see the top section split line with handle at the top, consider this has flat bars too, it is probably used as a pacer for race starts.

Thanks c0gsucker for making this the official favourite gear ratio thread.

My current bike is 50x12. But that is track gearing. Also, Soyo Red 2 tyres are a little expensive for skids and what not.

This is a gem, it was billed as being a Keirin frame, but the seller removed that info after the Re: ad appeared!

Removed the gear levers.

Nagasawas all the way baby!

Probably stolen

Touchè

Random guy in Thailand over flickr. Also got the NOS 3R NJS a seat from him. The stuff people have in Thailand is ridiculous, like they hoarded all Campagnolo/Cinelli NJS a over there!

Thailand has a lot of stolen motorbikes and parts from Japan. I wouldn't be surprised if bicycles ended up down the same path.

crappy beater, not a rat.

Was catching up. This is a looooooooooooong thread!

Phew, glad it was a joke. It was the second time I saw it and was worried people were thinking that was the real name. Maybe I should stop looking at reddit. There are some idiots on there!

What a minute!

That was 7 months ago, but I can't let it pass! 3Rensho is not brensho.

In english it means 3 "first place finishes" or "winning streak" and is spoken as "Sanrensho"

The kanji is written as 三連勝.

Ok, that is off my chest now. I expect to see no more mistakes on the Internet again. Carry on.

On second thought,
It sounds a little risquè.

Just picked up this little Makino fresh off the Keirin circuit.

Full NJS goodness down to the Soyo Red R2 tyres that still have the hanko stamps from their pre-race checks as well as English valves that pro Keirin riders seem to love here.

The only issue is that white is a little boring for a Makino, usually they have flashy paint jobs! I might change the grips and saddle to black.

How about a Makino straight off the Keirin Circuit?

The build is a little weird, the shop sells used bike gear. They just get the build from the seller and put it up for sale, not buy and sell. There is another chain of shops here called cycly.jp that do a similar thing.

But the frame is really nice condition, I think just a 3Rensho frame in this condition would sell for more than this normally. Looks like a 56cm frame too. Rear wheel is Dura-Ace hub, just the front wheel is a road wheel, little strange but forgivable. Shame I am leaving the country soon, not interested in buying a bike at the moment, this one is damn nice though.
