Why Yamaguchi? Because I grew up in America to a family (well, two uncles) who were into track racing. The bike of the American team was a Yamaguchi. So I have always hoped that one day I could have one of my own. Incidentally my uncle gave me his old one but it got stolen about a year ago.
Im sure the aforementioned British bike builders make amazing bikes but alas they don't have the sentimental value my Yamaguchi will. Also I am hopefully going to be attending the Dave Yates bike building course next year which help my Karma...a bit.
