At the risk of going against the flow, Nagasawa is a totally different style builder. He has really cool "bits" made, investment cast drops, Masi~DuBois style lugs, perfect joinery, but he really does not personalize the frame by distinctive shaping, styling, filing, thinning, etc etc. More like the ultimate "plug and play". OK, a few slots in the BB shell, but simply not sculptural in the way that Bruce Gordon thinks/builds.

Of course, as the wise man says, opinions are like ___, everyone has one.
