FS: Complete 58cm Nagasawa rat bike ● Dura Ace, Sugino, Nitto, Ambrosio, Mack Hubs ● NJS bits

The time has come to sell my well loved and well ridden Nagasawa. Had the pleasure of riding this bike for the last four years but it's not getting the use it deserves anymore.

Everything on this bike has been well ridden and enjoyed, nothing is in perfect condition but it all works well for the most part and is perfect as a day to day bike without worrying about every last scratch/chip.

Not a very traditional build but definitely practical and easy to dress up/down

Beautiful frame, really stiff and agile. Original, beautifully patina-ed, pearl white paintwork with lots of scratches and rubs.

Only dent to speak of is a tiny one on the underside of the downtube which was there when I bought it but nothing structural and it never caused me any issues. Remember showing it to the guys at Fitzrovia cycles years ago and them being confident that it was nothing major - just thought it should be mentioned.

Pains me to get rid of this but needs must...

Nagasawa NJS track frame - Pearl White
58cm c-c seat tube 57cm c-c top tube - hard to find in these large sizes
Hand painted lugs and details
Original undrilled fork

Ambrosio excellence 700c clincher rims - Some of the strongest classic shallow rims you can buy, similar to Mavic Open Pros (Just seen that two spokes are loose and will need refitting - should be an easy fix at your LBS)
Mack custom 32 hole hubs from Poland - low flange - double fixed - very similar to Phil Wood and hand machined by Mack Himself
Maxxis refuse tyres
Sugino 75 cranks 165mm - *Bit of heel rub on these but tapers and threads all fine - NJS*
Dura ace 1/8 black chainring - 48t
Mix and match pedals and straps
MKS RS1 *NJS track pedals on the right (the stupidly expensive ones) with super strong Toshi NJS leather straps
The left is MKS Sylvan pedals with cheapo Nylon straps. - May still have the other RS1 pedal about - will see if I can find it and chuck it in*
Phil wood cog - 17t - good cruising ratio - lots of skid patches if i remember correctly

Pitlock seat post clamp -to stop any scamps making off with your saddle - have all the bits needed for it - very useful piece of kit
Nitto S83 Frog seat post *- 27mm - NJS*
San Marco zoncolan saddle

Moving up to the front of the bike

Swan super deluxe headset - (NJS)
Quill to ahead stem adapter with a Planet X 100mm ahead stem and FSA Omega compact drops - 31.8mm clamp, 400mm width - great shape - some of the most comfortable bars I've ridden

It's got levers to rest your hands on - the left one is connected to a dia compe clip on brake which is on its last legs... It provides stopping power but only just. Will need to be replaced/fixed asap or not used at all. Right hand lever is a dummy.

If you want any more details or photos feel free to ask

Nice Bike! ! Glwts!

Would you split it? If so I would like to have first Dibs on the frame!

Br David

2nd dibs on frame if split

Would poss take the wheelset (hence dibs) depending on condition of hubs/bearings and price. Thanks, Tom

slightly amazed this is still around. If you do end up splitting dibs on the cranks and ring.

I'd quite like to take the clamp-on if you split, dippity, glws!

Balls - I need a clamp-on...

Split it, split it, split it...

@b&d It's not that kind of clamp on fella ;)

Saucy.

3rd dibs frame if split!

Price dropped to £750 - don't make me split this folks!

One last attempt at selling complete for £700.

If no luck with that it's time to begin splitting - let me know what you're interested in and I'll get back to you.

Still into the clamp on (dep on yr price).

I'd be very keen on wheels, let me know if you're splitting.
