1986 Super Record "Lugless". The tiny 45cm seat tube bike was too small to fit the standard lugs, so most of it is fillet brazed. That, along with the extra light tubing (Ishiwata 015, spec'd for the presumed tiny riders that would be riding it) make it one of the lightest 3Renshos you're likely to run across. As long as it doesn't collapse under my weight, I'll keep riding it.

Not sure if I have pix of my (early) Cyclone "Super Record Export" that was painted what initially looked like Bianchi Celeste, until you got a good look at it in sunlight!
I'll do some pic searching...
EDIT: found some crappy pix against a crappier background, but here they are:
there are more but all same quality...you get the idea...also since the pix were taken the RD and levers upgraded to DuraAce

And the piece-de-resistance… a 3Rensho Cyclone that was handmade by Yamaguchi for the 1978 New York Bike Show and equipped with a gold Suntour Superbe group. This was an epic project with a great story behind it. Read it all here, with lots of close up photos: https://djcatnap.com/early-3rensho-s...ntour-superbe/

I no longer own these. I have not seen either new owner on the list in some time, so I am sharing.
Number 1. Andrew said it is an early SRA. Full C-Record.
And number 2
