Mr Cho rode a Nagasawa frame! Mr Nagasawa recognized his special talent when he was an amatuar track cyclist. At that time, Mr Nagasawa commanded Mr Cho to compete with Koichi Nakano who had already become a professional Keirin rider. However Mr Nakano could not beat Mr Cho.
According to Nagasawa, Mr Nakano couldn't have achieved 10 times world champion if Mr Cho had continued as a professional cyclist.
After retiring as an olympic track cyclist, he became a builder. His frames are lightweight and have very careful lugwork. Dropouts and trackends ware used with Shimano. Also, the bb was made with Hitachi. Hard to find his frame on the market because the production numbers are extremely low.
