Title: Natsukashi BMX
Post by: Retrodan72 on September 08, 2014, 09:08 PM: Anyone dealt with Ian/Moonster99 recently?

His site's not working and he's got no listings on eBay currently. ???

Post by: Retrodan72 on September 08, 2014, 09:13 PM: That's ok, as long as he's still trading, I guess he's on holiday, or something?

Post by: factory pilot on September 08, 2014, 09:14 PM: Strange ... Both Andy and I bought chains before MK with no probs? And I'm sure he had those new tange headsets on ebay only last week?

Post by: Bfellows on September 08, 2014, 09:15 PM: Just checked his site - says he's closed till September 22nd so probably on holiday.......

Title: Re: Natsukashi BMX
Post by: MartyC on September 09, 2014, 01:47 PM: He is a member on here too..
Title: Re: Natsukashi BMX
Post by: Mikku on September 09, 2014, 02:55 PM: Guys, he's alive and well or at least he was when I met him in Tokyo last Tuesday to pick up some bits for my Laserlite! :daumenhoch:

He's now in Las Vegas for this year's Interbike show and said he's been busy preparing for that. I would therefore expect normal service to resume within the next week or so.

Post by: Natsukashi on September 21, 2014, 03:04 AM: Indeed we were at Interbike working with Kashimax on their booth so we didn't get to see much of the show. Met Todd Lyons again from SE and Toby Henderson from BOX Components though. Like last year our neighbours were Nitto, MKS, Tange-Seiki, Dia-Compe and Sugino. Also had a nice chat with Marui-san, owner of Tioga (Marui Ltd is the real name), he has been around for years. Was hard work but fun as usual.

Ant's hit the nail on the head Ian, with the great work you're doing in Japan with manufacturers, you're giving guys like myself who can't really afford the OG stuff.

We're very grateful. :4_17_5:

Your service and quality of products are second to none. A massive thank you. Loving the black Panaracer freestyle tyres I bought from you - can't wait to get them fitted!
