According to some sources, Harada-san, who builds Samson frames, is currently considered as one of the top Japanese, if not the top, framebuilder by the Keirin pros in Japan. Gaijin hipsters might dig 3Renshos, Nagasawas, Makinos and Kalavinkas but it's a different game over there. Samson frames are apparently also the most expensive Keirin frames to get built. This frame is one of the early masterpieces Harada built, its a Samson Elaborate with a different fork decal. There are hundreds of njs frames avialable on the www, but only a few have uncommon "european" sizes. As you may know, almost every keirin frame got some signs of use. This one got a small dent too, but it doesnt affect the riding in any way. you will love to ride it.
