Nakano Red Nagasawa Frameset on Ebay

Koichi Nakano was one of the best Keirin and Sprint track cyclists of all time. 

He won a lot of races: 

* World Cycling Championships 1977 - 1986 (10 ten consecutive times!!!)

* KEIRIN Grand Prix Champion 1985 

* Japan Keirin GP 1981 

* Allstar Keirin Champion 1979 -1980,1988 

* Keirin Festival Champion 1978, 1980- 1981, 1983, 1987 

* Japan tournament Keirin Champion 1988 - 1989 

So if you think you're fast but you lost this, 

Why not get another very similar Nagasawa to what he was riding...?

The Perfect Nagasawa on Ebay.

I said it before, blogging about stuff for sale on 'bay is kinda boring but, again, this bike is so perfect that I cannot not do this. 

It's an original Nakano Red Nagasawa Keirin bike, made by one of the most respected framebuilders alive today, the number '8208' indicates that it was most likely made in August 1982, it's full NJS, with classic SunTour Superbe Pro parts and all that yaddayadda, but just look at it. 

And yes, it's just like the bike legendary Koichi Nakano, one of the best Keirin and Sprint track cyclists of all time, always rode, just like when he won the dramatic World Pro Sprint Final in 1982 against Gordon Singleton. It was his 6th Sprint Championship, by the way. You really need to watch all three rounds, here, here and the final one here. The Super Makuri, yeah!

But whoever ends up getting this beaty, just lose the hideous brake right away, ok? 

Another Perfect Nagasawa Keirin Bike On Ebay

You missed that Nakano red 1982 Nagasawa on Ebay? Well, it didn't even meet the seller's price reserve at 1376USD.

But it's ok, here's another almost as perfect full NJS Nagasawa for you, straight from Japan and from a Keirin track, and without price reserve. It's not vintage like the previous one but pretty hot nonetheless. Friday was my payday, hmmm... 

EDIT!

Holy f**k! Someone from Germany just bought this bike and paid US $2,224.00 + S&H for it. 

I hope he will like it but what I don't really get is why the much nicer previous red vintage Nagasawa didn't reach even almost half of that price.
