I dont have any experience with them. If you are seriously concerned I would suggest contacting your bank/credit card company and letting them know that you have a pending charge that you would like to cancel. If you think you are about to get ripped off its good to take appropriate measures quickly.

With that said, this sounds like a common case of a backlogged internet retailer. Odds are that you will get your stuff, just later than expected.

Jesus, they want the earth for frames. What would I expect though....

Sorry to hear about your woes man.

It took several days to receive a response when I contacted him before, so it's possible he just hasn't seen or gotten to your e-mail yet. Kind of shitty service from someone asking some much for what he has

I've known Rene of Track Supermarket for a while and I can tell you he is an honest stand up guy who runs a legitimate business. Not getting some feedback sooner is definitely not a good way to do business but I'm pretty sure you have not been scammed! As for the cost - the parts on his site usually cost less than what you could buy them for here - including shipping from Japan. Some of the lesser known keirin frames are niche items for people who are into that stuff and are willing to pay $$$ - but the Panasonic frames IMHO are a great deal. $925 for a semi-custom lightweight lugged steel 'track' frame is amazing?! These are the same builders who supply tried and tested frames to keirin pro racers!! The brazing and custom lugs are top notch as is the finishing and it will fit you exactly. Ever seen what people pay for beat up incorrect sized italian track frames? Even though I do not own a Panasonic and probably never will I can recognize value for money and Rene....get back to Rasmus and don't let me down after I put in a good word for you!!!

Hey dN. Thanks for an excellent reply, you just put my mind at ease. :)

Rene in Japan is very honest and you will get what you pay for. As for dN (Dean) comment he's also correct about buying used Italian track frames in this part of the world. Also Gabe and Toshi at NJS Export runs a legitimate business in Japan and are very honest.

I've ordered tons of stuff from Rene, just takes time. I'm sure he's totally backlogged...only if he would get back to me about that sugino75 tyranno axle conversion kit!
