The beauty of a Nagasawa is underneath the paint. A friend of mine was having his repainted and to see it stripped bare of all the paint, there is no doubt as to why Nagasawa is considered a master non plus ultra. The brazing is tight and perfect, the filing is gentle and doesn't bite into the tubes. It's a real work of art, so much so that he decided to have it powdercoated clear so that he could always look at the craftsmanship.

Too much. 
Curly stays AND triple triangle AND crazy lugwork AND a double-plate fork crown AND a TT seat tube AND a cow's worth of leather and a brass bell. It's like any distinctive feature of any bike ever made all put together in one. Theoretically nice, but just ends up feeling like an overdose.

It's an OD, and given what I usually like I should hate it, but I love it. Loved it the first time I saw it, still love it now.

I read the blog of the guy who owns this, apparently he bought an assload of historic bike stuff from some angry redneck/fascist/didn't-like-blacks-'r-jews guy and this bike was the culmination of some of that stuff... I think the dropouts were off an original Hetchins, and he had Bilenky build a new frame around them...

Sounds nice.
