Spotted this, cracking pic of a Legnano with swooping Maes bends bars. From Life Magazine 1960.

Are those vintage NoBrakes?

I posted it last week and no-one sniffed it, I fucking love Yamaguchi frames.

I fooking loves it!

I fooking loves it!

He's got so much cred as a builder but I don't think I've seen or heard of a frame in the UK yet. Was the 3Rensho Master Builder then moved to USA and built Olympic team frames with Ben Serotta.

He seems to build a lot of bikes with straight forks, i can't recall ever seeing one with the rake in the fork rather that the crown...

I'm convinced that, whatever other merits there may be, any bike that has a flat plate seatstay bridge will always be anti.

MA9net's on a roll,
but that light blue thing, is a hell no..

sorry if repost

I've never seen it in here but I'd put money on it being a repost

i agree, just wanted to point out outstanding workmanship... the rear brake cable housing/stop is pure porn... :{)

my God... that's porno...

do anyone know what frame is this ? and where can you find something like this???

I'm going to be the gullible nice person who falls into the trap: appears to be a Bianchi Pista Concept painted yellow?

handlebars not my cup of tea either :{)

Has anyone else noticed that Yamaguchi's messenger frame seems to have high tensile stays?

His site cites issues related to the stresses of backpedaling.

Cilo track bike

yeah, i'v read that... thicker dropouts and chainstays...

seen that on bay, seller has some outstanding bikes

yes indeed... yhaaa, thank you so much, it's almost 2 weeks since I try to find out .. huh ...
now.. if anyone sale one.. please let me know :D

That Vanilla is pretty damn hot, not massively keen on the handlebar/stem thing IMO.

Liking the Holdsworth article.
