• Looks like someone beat me to it, but here's the new bike - birthday present from the wife.

    3Rensho Katana, likely built by Makino - not sure of the year yet.

    Parts were just swapped from the Stratton. Still experimenting with the saddle.

    A panto'd stem is on the way but some of you will be dissapointed that it's also black.

    Below is the vintage look I was going for.

    DMC - you da man - the drilled black chain ring is the sweetness - Selle San Marco Concur in red is a lovely saddle as is the bio turbo in red - oh and do you want to swop wives ?
