7005 track frame for Japan

This is a mass-start style aluminum track frame that will be mated to a steel fork that I am finishing later today. The owner is a mechanic at a shop called "Blue Lug" that I have seen in Loop magazine, a Japanese bicycle culture zine that I used to get in the mail for years. I miss getting my Loops , even if I could not read the articles. The photos were good enough for me- I even saw a couple of my bikes in there years ago. 
 
Judging by the longer chain stays and 45 mm fork rake my guess is that this bike will be on the road a lot more than on the velodrome.
