"Is there a Japanese bike that holds

I'm afraid I don't know what "holds the same place in Japanese history" means.

3Rensho and Zunow are the two most innovative and surprising builders ever! Such a variety of designs and graphics!!! They would be my pick for bikes that list readers might have some chance to see and possibly collect.

Many other Japanese builders that I know are VERY VERY good, but like many top American or Italian builders, have basically been content to reproduce the same frame over and over again, only varying the size and finish.
