My old Nagasawa reborn

I finally sold my Nagasawa road trainer frameset. Fellow who bought it was thrilled and off it went to San Diego. I think he works for Joe Bell. Anyway, he built it up with items he said he's had for a long time. It's a bit Frankenbike but I like it!

Mavic crankset
Delta brakes
Superbe hi-lo track hub
Campy post

Perfect example of a classic steel frame built up as an everyday ride...with brakes, upright bars, and lots of attention to component choices. Bravo!!

Haha, I've seen the Mavic crank up close and hate it! to each his own, I will say it works here with the delta brakes.

This is perfect. Makes me want to pick up an NJS frame just to make it a townie cruiser.

Very nice. Many (but not me) will say Deltas are the perfect brake for a fixie.

Why a high-low rear hub on a dishless wheel?
