@Vonruden @CV-6 I just love those purple 3Renshos. I know internet photos can be deceiving, but those two bikes seem to have less steep head tube angles than the other 3Renshos, which might make them less twitchy than your typical 3Rensho. Lynn, did both of your two 3Renshos ride similarly?

Those thin lug points are just showing off! Personally, I prefer more of a filed taper look down towards the tube rather than a thin but raised lug point. Still, you have to respect the craftsmanship and daring approach these frames.

The man knew how to put an elegant line to a fork.
