Matthew Crampton's Nagasawa Keirin Bike

I bought the frame and some bits from Matt some time ago via the forum classified's... you may recall?

I decided that it should really be preserved in full Keirin spec, as raced by him in Japan with considerable success during the 2009/10 season. so a Keirin wheelset, in immaculate condition, was obtained at a very reasonable price from NJS Exports, who were very good to deal with, along with the correct Dura Ace chainring and sprocket, and some other bits from other sources. The original stem is a bit extreme at 140mm, but Matt is a big bloke!

Oh. Wow.

Very nice, I'd maybe get a shorter stem though, unless you have loooong arms

jammy bastard, i pm'd him about this and was going to buy it, no wonder he didn't reply. i'm so jealous, but well done it's gorgeous! (walks off muttering to himself).

Nice upskirt shot, have you considered a career in the tabloids.?

Absolute stunnah.

Yes, thanks, had to do that one with the covert camera cunningly concealed in my trouser turn-up!!

I agree. I had a ride of it around Herne Hill and I felt like my back had been stretched on a rack.

This is beautiful. And totally steals the thunder from the bike I've just finished putting together :-(

absolutely incredible. jammy doesn't even begin to cover it.

^I think he's quite a long lad.. He'll probably cover it, even with 14cm stem..

Sweet Jesus that's gorgeous. I'm a total sucker for anything Dura Ace as well. (And who isn't?)
Damn good job on this.
