ill add my bit to jim merz' verdict, just cause...
every single 3rensho allez ive ever seen has been a much richer almost candy apple red - this looks like a pretty basic red to me... this color looks almost identical to the red on my old 1985? specialized rockhopper...
cant see the lugs, which are the dead giveaway - the 3rensho-built allez has these nice long points that are really elegant in their simplicity.
theyre sweet frames - i have a couple friends who either have or have had them, and theyre well worth grabbing if you spot one... they turn up at swaps every so often...
