So I'm over the NJS fever, woof.
And I'm selling my beloved samson.
Text from the previous owner.
"According to some sources, Harada-san, who builds Samson frames, is
currently considered as one of the top Japanese, if not the top,
framebuilder by the Keirin pros in Japan. Gaijin hipsters might dig
3Renshos, Nagasawas, Makinos and Kalavinkas but it's a different game
over there. Samson frames are apparently also the most expensive
Keirin frames to get built.
This frame is one of the early masterpieces Harada built, its a Samson
Elaborate with a different fork decal. There are hundreds of njs
frames avialable on the www, but only a few have uncommon "european"
sizes."
