More Info:
Paint was in pretty poor condition when I bought it and the top tube had already been spray painted (poorly I might add) white to cover up paint chips. Bought it complete with every intention of repainting. Pleasantly surprised at the amount of chrome I uncovered. I tried to leave as much exposed as possible which I feel is somewhat uncommon for NJS frames.

Pretty cool. The paint scheme is fairly recent as well. PM me with the serial number and perhaps I can help with the year.
Posted about 10 years ago
Thanks for getting back to me! I will send the full serial number when I get home. I believe it starts with 0306 though.

Thanks man! Sure! I'll hit you up soon, I'm planning to buy an old panasonic njs frame, and I want to restore it also.
Question, is it okay for me to buy a 47st-50tt njs frame and my height is 5'5?

dietrootbeer says:
to be honest man im not positive - just pay close attention to the top tube and seat tube measurements as most NJS frames were custom made for someone so sometimes the geometry can be odd. lemme know about the decals - can get you some pics and let them go pretty cheap
