3Rensho Sequoia frames
The 3Rensho-built Sequoias have a distinct chainstay attachment at the seatpost. Go to post #13 and click on the last photo link and you'll that the chainstays were brazed onto the lug that connects the top and seat tubes in a unique way.
I found this info in a thread of photos of either Sequoias or Specialized bikes. I think the name was "spoke sniffer" and he identified himself as a long-time Specialized employee.
Well, pardner, seems to me that makes that there heaveBay purchase of your'n a San Rensho.
