The wheel looks tough, with the super wide blades, 36 hole 4 cross, with the 42mm 650c rim....

My OSCA frame from Ibaraki Ken, Japan. (njs keirin)






This is one of the hardest to find frames, as far as NJS Keirin approved goes. Others that are very
rare even in Japan, are Venus, Civras, King Speed, Ohtaki, Shimazaki and Yanagisawa.
Everest are best known for their Randonneurs, which are very sought after in Japan, but the Everest piste frames also fetch big money. This is my friend Miya Sans... Kalavinka's Tanabe San did his training at Everest before establishing Kalavinka in Tokyo.
