Ohtaki is an njs feamebuilder who also does restorations. There aren't too many out there but are all really nice and well made. 110 rear spacing is a relatively common spacing for njs bikes still. Look for an njs stamp somewhere. Most commonly on the bb shell. Nice find!

110/8mm track ends are pretty common but usually the fork ends are the same 8mm slotted axle. This one (fork) is a standard size dropout at 100/9mm..

I had a Panasonic like that and I've seen a few others as well. It's not uncommon on newer frames from the 90s and on it appears. Probably because getting 8mm fork ends is more difficult?

Ohhhh. Yeah you're probably right. Maybe the builder ran out of campy fork ends in the 8mm variety. Who knows. It is stamped NJS btw and the bottom bracket shell also has "tsuma ya" engraved in it. I think it means wife, though not sure.

Narrowed the tubing down to Columbus EL based on the Internet and year the frame was built. The fork steerer is tell tale Colimbus by its rifling. Ordered the decals and Hatta BB. Should arrive soon. Also found some 30 year old Campagnolo 36h clinchers. lambda Strada V profile. Both are NOS but have shop wear. I'm still pretty stoked on them. They will be laced up in the future (build). Can't wait to ride this thing!
