But alas when looking for a lot of set back that is usually a good sign of a poor fitting bike. Bikes that fit are great, bikes that need a lot of parts to try to make it sort of fit aren't so great. I get it though sometimes there is a cool old frame you see and it is fairly unique or sufficiently vintage that finding another in your size is hard but you might just let it go and find the bike that fits.
Getting that out of the way, Nitto makes some top quality parts, a lot of time cold forged for extra strength and durability and they really take a lot of time and pride in their work. The only thing one could say about Nitto is there stuff can be weighty but their goal is not weight but quality and durability.
