Why is that bike so frikken small! Couldn't it have been a 53cm? It must be the gods telling me I'm not worthy of such a fine piece or art and history.

BD keep in mind that this is being sold by The Yellow Jersey bike shop in Mad Town Wisconsin, where they will ticket/arrest you if you light a cigarette in a bar but you can burn a fatty on the street corner, no problem. :beer:

Anybody who has knows what I'm sayin', know what I'm sayin'? A friend once had a steel Bianchi ATB repaired by him (purchased too) Drive side chain stay replaced, put back together, sent us on our way, got back to brew city, crank arm hits chain stay --------he does has every little thing ever made - ever!!!!! But needs a manicure.

[shinomaster]

I'm not sure why or how but that frame looks so Japanese to me...from the late 70's maybe....maybe it's his disco logo?

I wonder what that paint looks like in person?....Too bad they put such ugly parts on it...

I a shop in Portland had a Nagasawas track frame here last summmer. Looked pretty nice!

It has very tight geometry like the GIOS.

Just what New Orleans needs... Water.



Right now either Liberace or Elton John (the late 70's version) are wondering who took their bike.

[yeehawfactor]

what's turnaround on a nagasawa?

[11.4]

Oh, 2-3 years for a non-custom frame, and no one seems willing to guess on when a custom frame will arrive. Nagasawa is close to retiring and only doing the frames he wants on the days he wants. His quality is better than ever, and he's discovered these wild color schemes and paint jobs. He does all his own painting, by the way. The keirin scene has embraced these foil glitters, metallic dust or powder overcoats, wild pinstriping, and some outrageous decals (including ones like on this bike). I don't think I've seen the same decals on any of the last 20 or so Nagasawas I've seen -- they are all different and some are pretty wild. If you go to a keirin track, you see lots of this kind of finish everywhere around you -- it's just part of Japanese paint style (just look at the artwork of Murakami and others to see how prevalent this is). I personally think this frame looks just great. The red tires and bar tape seem to clash a bit -- I'd have used some old Benotto translucent red plastic tape or something in that ilk rather than that clunky Cinelli look -- but Yellow Jersey would re-outfit the bike any way you wanted. When Nagasawa chose to offer this frame, he publicized the fact through EAI, and kudos to Yellow Jersey for picking up the cost right away so that New Orleans could see the funds right away.

[SPOKE]

metal falke paint job reminds me of the paint found on some of the bad a** bass boats that you'd find on the lakes and rivers here in the south. was never a fan of the look...........but i still hope to add one of these bikes to my collection in the future with a more convential paint scheme.

Too true...

That paint job is very "mariah carey."

I sure it rides well. Perhaps better than it looks?

this may be true of the bikes you've seen, but I think the vast majority
of frames Nagasawa-san has built in the last 30+ years have orange decals
with a blue outline.

hell with all that, that bike rocks.

too bad it's sized for my seven year old.
