But if you build very specific bikes out of very specific materials, all governed by somewhat bizarre and strict guidelines, then you will no doubt after many years have mastered the art of building Kerin bikes down to a T, but as the same time probably not taken much note of advance in frame construction/material advances etc etc that goes on outside your bubble - i have no doubt that Nags are at the very top of the tree for hammering round a japenese track doing a good imitation of Rollerball, but wouldnt a humble BJ vigorelli be a much better daily ride?
All this is moot, because if Nags and NJS are your thing then nothing is going to stop you buying one, but i cant see how they are anyhting other than the best built Kerin frames, and that many other builders build equally as good frames?
Hourses for courses . . .

if they are so good why don't people ride them when competing in keirin races in the u.k? surely if they were superior to all other keirin bikes the british (and other riders) would use them?
