    Description

    Offered for sale is a somewhat rare road frame by the master frame builder, Shigeru Nakagawa.  His frames often take up to a year to get.  He began his frame building career building for Zunow, one of Japan's best bike manufacturers.
    I believe the frame dates from early 90's.  I bought the frame and built it up with mostly Dura-Ace components.  The frame dimensions are: seat tube - 57 c-c; top tube - 56cm c-c.  The bike has really fine and unusual decals with an electronic symbols motif.  The paint color is Nakagawa's pink - an iconographic standard paint color for a race team
    Here's some other details you'll want to know:
