3 rensho

[joshshuffman@gmail.com]

Hey, japanese bike fans. I have a 3 rensho that I got, lets say,
pre-1985 and outfitted with whatever I had handy (old campy
derailleurs, dura ace cranks, etc.) The frame is pretty unique,
though, and I'd like to know more about it. It looks like an early
foray into funny bike territory, with aero tubes, a super-short head
tube, and a weird support going from the seat tube to the brake
bridge. Anyone seen one? I can get some photos and upload them if
necessary.

I'd run too if a giant black knobbie was chasing me.
