Toei
Any members here own a Toei?
I have purged my collection of bikes and have just my Tomii, a Romic, a Trek 620 and a recently acquired Roberts.
Now a Toei rando or touring is my next "wish" bike.

unbelievable quality. The want is strong, with this one. Might not go for campy just there, more like a Japanese parts all star team.

Toei has always been on the "some day" list for me. I'd love to visit the shop in Tokyo, too. BQ did a piece on them recently, I think.
