Custom Nagasawa Bicycle

Custom Nagasawa Bicycle

We came across this beauty of a bicycle over at Hype in Japan and it’s worth a look. The Nagasawa frame is enough to blow our minds, a rare piece these days that’s only available through custom order. The Japan-based framebuilder has been sought after by elite racers in hopes of getting a frame of uncompromised accuracy and precise handling. The Campagnolo Shamal wheels are lightweight and powerful with Zaffiro white tires making the ride a smooth one.
