Hi Doland -

I've often thought about the same thing, and a 3Rensho was exactly what I had in mind. I've even already collected most of the parts to do it. For me it would have to be a Suntour Superbe Pro group (I have most of two, one in black finish). You could also do a Superbe group, but the SupPro is such a cool, under-rated and under-appreciated group, that I'd have to go with it.

Now, while everyone is on the look-out, if you could just find me a 55/56cm 3Rensho. Wayne

Anybody have any ideas on where one could find a Japanese vintage lightweight? Not a Fuji or Miyata, but something like a 3Rensho decked out in Suntour's best would be kinda cool. What Suntour group would be appropriate?

Also, I had seen on the web before (can't find now) a site that had a Mizutani pictured. Anybody know anything about those bikes?
