Thanks for that site John. Unfortunately it can only remind me how good Masuda's site was.

In addition to , http://members.aol.com/satorumas/brands/brands.html

his site could also be accessed from, http://welcome.to/classic_bicycles .

With your link, you get, http://web.archive.org/web/20040604032213/http://welcome.to/classic_bicycles

Hopefully after seeing the fragmented version, someone will know how to access the real data.

No, the URL was http://members.aol.com/satorumas/brands/brands.html

Now all you get is a blog page with the message,
