"1978 3RENSHO 'Track Modulo'
(their top of the line frame at the time) verified by Yamaguchi-san to have been
built by his hand in the first year of 3RENSHO's existence (then known as
"Cherubim Cycles" after his brother's also-famed Cherubim shop.) This frame features
 Ishiwata 019 tubing, chromed Shimano ends, Tange lugs, Cinelli fastback seat stays
 and fork crown, and a Nikko bottom bracket."
