Hey All,

This is my first time posting so i’m not sure how to work this but here goes. I thought i’d just post a few bikes and then do the others when i get time. I,ve been collecting Keirin bikes and these are the last ones.

the first is a Panasonic order track frame. factory drilled non NJS. good everyday rider with polished Superbe pro cranks and 28 hole superbe pro hubs.

this one is my Vivalo i bought on Sat. Pretty much all NJS except the pedals and rims. I plan to strip the dura-ace off and put on the panasonic you see in the background of the first pic and build this with a superbe pro NJS groupset.

i just wanna see if this works and i’ll post my other bikes. currently have a RAP NJS, Harp, Early bridgestone BIA track bike, 3Rensho NJS

hope you all like. take care

That’s not going to work.

awesome bikes dude! love that green on the panasonic frame its intense, got any better pics of the Vivalo? cant see it real well.

sorry did you say you collect keirin bikes? thats quiet the hobby

Now that i have worked this thing out I’ll post some decent pics of the vivalo. i was pretty upset with the bike when i took these. i rode it home as is and that kashimax seat about killed my arse

It is not so much a hobby, more like a compulsion. i can’t say no.

Is that factory or custom paint on the Panasonic? I love it!

_carlo · October 20, 2009, 2:58am

what is the panasonic like?? i was thinking of ordering one. Looks f**king unreal!
Would love to see the RAP

chewster · October 20, 2009, 6:26am

the panasonic rides like a dream. it is perhaps the nicest of the track bikes i have to ride on the road.

It was originally black but i just redid it in this green. pretty happy with the way it turned out. debating on whether to put chrome decals on it

You’re selling that yellow Vivalo on eBay yeah?

jt86 · October 20, 2009, 4:52pm

wow, awesome green on the panasonic

Gness · October 20, 2009, 5:50pm

What’s the name/paint code of that particular green? I’ve been looking for a decent looking green paint for aaages

jake52 · October 20, 2009, 6:09pm

so nice. especially the vivalo. so nice to see frames like this not tarted up with matching deep v’s etc

ST24 · October 20, 2009, 6:50pm

Now thats a classy collection!
I look forward to some more pictures!

Is the green on the panasonic powdercoat or paint?

shortsie · October 20, 2009, 7:18pm

That aint powdercoat. its paint. Powdercoat would never look that nice

sir.true · October 22, 2009, 5:10am

sorry, i’m sort of new to this stuff. (i guess i should paint my bike instead of powdercoat it then)

just got back from shanghai. here is the rest of my bikes. sorry if some photos are crap. i tried to keep the size down. i really hope this does not take too long to load. there is alot of pics. hope you like

this is the RAP I just bought as i bought it so it has no tires. i think im going to build it up with the coloured nitto and sugino 75. not sure yet

F.moser conversion

early japanese track bike. not sure what it is. the stamp on the BB says RS but it looks like an old bridgestone. any ideas? the drop outs are UFP-10s with all early NJS parts. super mighty cranks and sunshine professional hubs, brooks swift. this is my beater right now.
