The second Eimei; Cinelli lugs, Columbus SLX tubing, and a mix of various parts from here and there.
It's taken a little hard work to get it done but it was a lot of fun doing it and even more fun to ride.
The guy who sold it to me somehow managed to get a 27.2 seatpost rammed down into a 27 size downtube, thing took me an hour of hammering to free it. The headset that came on it was jacked up too so I was happy when my lbs gave me a used, properly working one for free. Thanks Ebisu Pro-Tech!
Also thanks to Tanabe-san at Tsukumo Cycles for sorting out the front brake.
Another mention is that this was the first wheel I built up from scratch, still rolling smooth and strong. Looking forward to doing more in the future.
