3Rensho is one. Now if I could afford a Shimano Dura Ace 10 track kit to go on it. There was a Japanese frame whose name began with a "Z" that I can't remember. Zuicko, Zullo...? The frames had fantastic paint work.

Here's a topic you don't often hear on the CR List. What are the most collectable Japanese Bike-boom bikes ?? Is there a Japanese bike that holds the same place in Japanese history as a Colnago or MASI ??

I have a SEKAI 4000 that is near and dear to my heart, but I have heard that it's an american creation - like Lotus - and so it probably doesn't qualify to be king of the keirin track.
