^Most beautiful stem evah in my humble opinion.. Or maybe not.. Nag has a lot of potential with the splash of DA 7600 and super frame, but handlebar and brake mounted on the rear ruin it for me.. Also, how is the brake mounted? Looks like two plates bolted against each other against the stays or summit? Why did you choose to set it up this way?

Hi, the bike is what i rode when i raced in Japan in 2009. I purchased the brake "kit" whilst i was there in the Keirin shop. Its a dia compe brake caliper with 2 flat plates and a wing nut to attach it. I need a brake for riding around!! lol All the keirin students run the brake like this too when they are doing there on road drills. The handlebars kill it i know, there decathlon specials but i just didn't want the drops. im 6ft.2 so he position is ok for me. got that cafe racer feel to it with the bars down there. All the parts barring handlebars are NJS I have lots of parts and another frame also.
