Anyone have any experience with Yamaguchi road frames? The Team USA (http://www.yamaguchibike.com/frames/road-teamusaroad.htm) looks nice and certainly has a strong pedigree, but there's literally nothing out there - Yamaguchi doesn't even have a photo gallery! I'm considering either a Yamaguchi or Kirk frame, and while there's no shortage of gushing about Kirk, I'd like to hear what people think of Yamaguchi. Share any anecdotes, personal encounters, pictures, whatever!

Teucer,

All I can say is that Richard Sachs (yes that richard sachs) thinks very highly of
yamaguchi frames. From what I've seen (I can't find pics) they are very
nice frames, built in traditional way (lugged steel) with very precise lugs and
brazing.
