Classic Japanese Bicycles
The Nagasawa Special NJS represents the pinnacle of
Japanese keirin racing craftsmanship. This 55cm steel frame build showcases components that meet the strict standards required for professional velodrome competition. Every part on this bicycle earns its place through precision engineering and proven track performance.
Recently, Madrid cyclist Eduardo Sanchez transformed a Giro Meccanico frame into something extraordinary. Japanese bicycle craftsmanship reaches its peak in track racing frames. Here, artistry meets precise engineering. However, he didn’t add anything to it. Instead, he revealed what lay beneath. His radical approach strips away the ornate paintwork that usually covers Keirin bicycles. As a result, he unveiled the raw beauty of Japanese frame building mastery.
The limited edition Miyata Century stands as a testament to precision engineering, featuring triple-butted chromoly tubing, investment-cast lugs, and manufacturing tolerances that rival modern carbon fiber production standards—all from an era when craftsmanship defined performance cycling.
This rare circa-2000 Eimei keirin NJS frame represents Japanese track craftsmanship at its finest. Furthermore, the build demonstrates how track racing technology adapts seamlessly to urban environments.
