I got the frame from NJS Export when I was in Tokyo in June/July this year. Most of the parts except for the wheels (ebay) I also got from either Blue Lug, Sexon Super Peace or the Tokyu Hands in Shibuya.
I like this bike cos its an extension of how much I love Japan.
A also recently got a Vivalo, which I got for my girlfriend to ride around. I’ll post pics of that when I take some.

yup… I would recommend them, they ship really fast and Gabe is pretty good in letting you know whats going on. Oh and the frames are pretty much as they are described.
I’m going to Tokyo this end of year, where is the shop located? I tried to find on the website and couldn’t find anything… Did he pack the frame for you as well?
They don’t actually have a shop front as its pretty much just an on-line store, all the frames are in a house somewhere in Kanagawa Prefecture.
I bought my frame off their site and just asked them ship it to my hotel in Tokyo. This was heaps better cos it was fully packed and boxed already, saves you having to try and find a bike box somewhere. If you are moving hotels a bit, I would suggest to make a purchase towards the end of your trip so you don’t have to lug the box around.
Oh and shipping was super fast. The frame got to my hotel the next day after he delivered it. He didn’t even have time to send me the tracking number. The Japanese postal service is super efficient.
going to echo what everone else has said, the frame and frame colour is supernice. I think id prefer your current weinemann deep v’s over b43s though thats just me
