The first time I saw a 3Rensho at Marina Cyclery in San Francisco, I knew
they were VERY cool. Wish I could have afforded one then. "State of the Art"
as seen by a frame builder. The first Masi 3Vs and Cinelli Lasers got the
same reaction from me. Wish I'd had the money to buy any of them then. The
full race stuff always turned my crank. Track stuff squared. The track frames
ridden by those two East German sides of beef (Huebner?) impressed me as
being really right on, considering how..."muscular" those guys were. I'd have
done my best to build them BETTER frames!
