I found this on the internets, its the frame I took to Tokyo and rode in CMWC 2009, then traded in for an NJS frame that I sold when I got home… Anyway they’ve rebuilt it, for what must be one hell of a tall Japanese dude!

No sorry I don’t, but I do have a pretty nice one made by PRO (which sits under the axle between the hub and frame - tidy). And you can get them here easily. ![](http://www.wiggle.co.uk/images/pro-display-stand-zoom.jpg) ---

I’ll been to just about every cool bike shop there is (trackstar, american cyclery, king kog, keirin berlin, all the ones in tokyo, mighty riders, bicycle passion, Ace cycles, condor to name few), and shifterbikes is still my favourite - and it’s right here in Melburn. Amen. ---
