Seems like good advice. I just searched for pista frames on sale on Yahoo Japan auctions and a Bob Jackson came up.
As for Panasonic, there is but it's all in Japanese. As far I can work out there's two systems: Custom Order and Frame Full Order. With the former, you can get a built bike or frame and make a lot of choices regarding options. Frames go up to 61cms in 1cm increments.

But with the Frame Full Order, which is a bit more pricey, the options are far more varied. This is the link:

A friend of mine recently got a Panasonic steel road bike made and it looks superb.
