i like my nagasawa.
i lusted after one since the late 70s and i
fanatasized all along about what it must be
like to have had all the experiences he had
in italy and then in japan. part of this fantasy
was that he makes really great frames using his
decades of building experience as well as knowledge
gleaned from the track racing circuit in japan. i
assumed that he must work efficiently because his
output, for a shop his size, is always stated as being
that of one 4-5 times larger.
if you guys think that the marks on my nagawasa are
a sign of poor(er) quality than you'd expect, well
GET STUFFED. order your own, and tell the guy you want
a silver 55cm and "hold the flaws".
