I've always loved 3Rensho. Such great lugwork and clean lines. Any idea if this is one that Yoshi made?

I don't think Konno made it. It has fastback seatstays, which I've heard he preferred to avoid.

yellow jersey is for haters.

so, the only place in the USA you can buy decals for 3renshos is Yellow Jersey. They charge an obscene for a sheet. Having no choice, i bought them.

Later, while in the process of moving from DC to Chicago, I loaned the 3rensho to my brother in Madison for safe keeping. He lives a block from Yellow Jersey, so he asked me to ship it there. I did. They unpacked the bike and an inexperienced wrench threw it in a stand without a rag and tore off part of one of the obscenely high priced decals they sold me. I called the owner, Andrew Muzi, to see how they'd fix it. He said they'd take care of it. "That's going to be hard, since the decals are under a clearcoat." He swore he'd take care of it.

When I got the 3rensho back from my brother ~a month later, I saw his "solution." He put another decal over the original, over the clearcoat, poorly lined up so that you can see the shadow of the original. It looks really shitty. And that was the OWNER's solution.

thanks!

i think the happy ending to her story is that now that i live in chicago, i get to race Okashii on the track. Plus, I got a pair of 110 campy sheriff star hubs from my BF for xmas, so I've built tubular wheels - on Araya Gold rims, of course! track racing wheels look great on this frame.

Hey Kiddo!

I did a search for a Nitto Jaguar seat post and low and behold. When searching for the Jaguar, your 3rensho ends up as about two or three links on the first page on Google.
