Hi, again, woops!
Very sory I misspelled one of our member's name; Mr. Takao "Noda" is correct name.
He had started his light weight racing bike experience and love in ITALY, not in Japan. This, of course, makes him such an exceptional vintage bike collector and as well as knowledge of Italian frame makers and bikes.
But, what I hear from him make me to believe he is having extra affairs to British bicycle in recent days!
