Nankai was made in Japan until they closed. NYB is the new Nankai and they are still made in Japan.

So the new Nankai will be rebadged as NYB I supposed? Interesting.

Tooling takes forever to get up and running in manufacturing.  I'm interested to see what NYB will produce. 

I forgot to add Deco to my list, I like them too.

State of flatland is very stale every frame looks alike , which makes flat parts a hard sell thank Christ standard and mtf can make whatever you want even if it costs more . Most parts on the market I would never spend any money on

Not so much a "re-badge" as it is the son of the original Nankai proprietor choosing to continue his father's business. All things considered, that situation could easily have gone either way and we could have been looking at the Nankai system becoming nothing more than a fond memory, whilst bitching about 69,420 re-badged YuHub clones! Stoked to see what NYB will bring to the table, although it looks like we might be in for a bit of a wait...
