Looks to be sold out already...

I would buy an NJS frame... If you are really into getting a nice frame. They arent really that much more expensive.. I think that will be my next stop. Otherwise if money was permitting, buy one of the mass produced old school lugged type frames. They are nice in person, and last forever.

Ballin.. Cheap too.

BRIDGESTONE white NJS Keirin frame.
550mm CTT seat tube
540mm CTC top tube
110 ends
Decent, but very old white paint, no dents, nothing too ugly, just scratch/chips all over the
bike. Nice big size Bridgestone (i get so many requests for big bridgeys!)
NJS headset and Sugino sealed BB (bb is new) $650 (this was my daily ride for the last 2 months!) Ishiwata tubing.

You can do anything with proper welding and fabrication skills. You'd probably run the biggest risk of warping the frame from the TIG heat...

On a side note, the fnding the proper front caliper at a LBS is impossable. Yesterday I almost domed the baggypants kid in tight pants and the emo haircut for being such a dick. He said I shouldn't need a brake unless I'm a fixie-pouser-bitch like the other kids that come in and buy Bianchi's to do barspinz. He began to inform me that it looks like I have a pair of legs already, so stop bitching that noone will sell/carry a front caliper with the proper dimensions for my old piece of shit, then he proceded to tell me to just buy their $1399.00 complete bike, because whatever I built is wrong anyway.

BTW, if you guys may be able to help, here is a pic of a $4 caliper I bought from some LBS, it's the correct size, but has the stopping power of two rocks squeezed against my wheel with some rubber bands.

Sounds more like some LBS has horrible customer service abilities. AND, one less customer.

Is it an LA shop?

Your area is filled with douchery. Move to Nashville immediately.

relocated my brake lever. It will be much better to ride now, unfortunately I think I broke my toe last night so I'm off to the doctor now.
