3 Rensho is tops on the list for me when it comes to Japanese bikes. One of my friends in college raced one as a Cat. 2 amateur, and I drooled every time I saw the bike. To me it was pure, serious racing bike.....
the 3 Rensho is still a grail bike for me that I would want to own and ride within my lifetime,.......but I'm a bit concerned that some had mentioned the handling on them are too skittish for the road and dangerous in decents and supposedly their geometry is more like that of a track bikes. My friend never mentioned this to me back then, but then he did do a lot of criteriums and a very quick handling bike might be the best for that purpose......
