Samson Rising Sun

This build stemmed from my Nagasawa commuter and then spiraled out of control into building an entirely new bike once I saw how nice the frame was. The frame is blacklisted on the keirin track as the rider had filled the frame core with polyurethane foam for a win. The tubing is oversized, super light, and because of the foam, super duper stiff. Rides incredible, the definition of butter on pavement. All parts hand polished down to the spokes!
