Subject: [CR] Japanese keirin frames going to Cirque


I'm excited to be heading down to the Cirque w/ Tom Sanders this year for my first time.  Looking forward to seeing what everyone will be showing.

I'll be bringing down some Japns. keirin frames from a friend of mine who's still racing over in Japan professionally since the early 80's.  These are all retired race frames from approx. '84 thru early '90s, so they have the typical wear from racing (the Peloton and Vivalo have h-bar dents on the top tubes) and being stored for 20+ yrs.  I'll be selling them from $300 on up.

Here's some pics I took of them in Japan before I brought them home: http://picasaweb.google.com/flyingdutchman63/KeirinFrames[1]

The purple Erba was sold last fall; the red Nagasawa was left in Japan as it had a fracture in the BB/ chain stay area that my friend said that Nagasawa himself said was irrepairable, so I left the whole frame there.

I took the time to photograph the Maeda properly : http://picasaweb.google.com/flyingdutchman63/MaedaFrame[2]

I'll be helping out at Tom's table.  My cell is 517/706-9244 if anyone would like to talk beforehand.

Thanks,

Tim Potter
