Nagasawa Special - 55 x 55

Hi,

After hours of thinking, I took the hard decision of letting this gem go. Everyone knows Nagasawa, notably trained at Pogliaghi and later De Rosa, he is one of the best frame builder in Japan.

Initially made for racing in Keirin, this frame is obviously NJS. That said, this one is slightly special as it was later modified by Koichi to add brake bosses and reinforcement gussets. Size-wise, it's a 55x55 ctc. Frame-set comes with the Tange NJS headset.

Frameset price: 900€
I can add components (Nitto, SG75, etc...) to be discussed in PM.
I live in the Netherlands but shipping can be arranged.
Some photos.

2 Brakes are required by law in japan. Its common to have this set up for keirin riders to practice on public roads.

It looks beautiful in the sunshine

Does the frame and fork have holes for the brakes? Or was it like that originally?
