Just saw this...apparently the feather model track bike has been around for a long time, but only recently offered here in the U.S. I picked up a '76 model last spring, it was made in Tokyo for sale in Japan only back then. I saw the 2010 model at my lbs, it is similar to mine but has some obvious differences - modern parts of course, tigged main frame (mine is lugged), sloping fork crown (mine is flat), more gradual fork curve (mine curves near the tips). Mine has the old feather head badge also -













Also, I noticed on the 2010 feather, instead of lug nuts for the wheel axles, it has 5mm allen head nuts(?)
seemed kind of small to me to get proper torque without risking stripping the nut head...
