Cassette, I ordered a Level a couple of months back. A few things I learned. 1. Matsuda-san only deals in cash. 2. No posting overseas (anymore) 3. JIS bottom bracket only.
But I also learned he's a great guy. Speaks hardly any English, but didn't mind that my Japanese is poor. Well worth visiting him.

Here are some before and after shots......(although the raw one is actually a different customers frame, identical apart from seat/top tube size)

I dunno. The front wheel looks like bent straws to me.
