“The (Keirin) frames, no matter what brand, are always of the highest quality. When you’re thinking about a used keirin frame, think about
everything that went into it. The racer orders the frame according to
his personal preferences, ones that he’s developed after racing for up
to 30 years. Even with that status he will pay anywhere from $1000 to
$2500 for a frame. There are no sponsorships in keirin racing. He
chooses the frame tubing (now usually Kasei or Columbus), lugs, and
paint, too. After that he waits, weeks or months for the builder to
finish.” - Keirinculture.com via fixedgearbikes
