If you can't find a Nagasawa, look for a Samson. He had a couple of really exquisite frames in the Tange booth at NAHBS in Indy. A well-known framebuilder told me they were the best frames in the building.
Thanks - the name sounds familiar. I have a 2001 track Nagasawa, so it would be ever-so-cool to have a road one to park next to it, though. It'll be tough to find, however - I need about a 60-61 size. YJ was importing them, last I remember, but then Nagasawa-san stopped taking road frameset orders....
