Nagasawa (written: 長沢 lit. "long swamp" or 長澤) is a Japanese surname

I've seen a couple of those bikes! A guy here local wheelbuilder used to do part time work at Bicycle Johns in N Hollywood- he owned PRISTINE bikes, and a black Nagasawa. It was gorgeous. I still remember it. I think it had Campy Record w downtube shifters.

Yoshiaki Nagasawa = the Japanese Richard Sachs . What RS has been to cross, Nagasawa has been to Keirin (except on a grander scale!).

Perhaps one of (if not the) best Japanese built frames one can buy!

You've probably seen more unicorns than 60cm Nagasawa road bikes

Nagasawa bicycles that I have seen in-person have all been simply breathtaking.
