thank you so much for finding and posting this. it's super helpful and will further enrich the article I've written. When I discover information like this, it's like a beautiful treasure - the opportunity to know more about these great builders and athletes, and being able to share it to an English-speaking audience so that they, too, can appreciate the craftsmanship and history behind Japanese bicycles.
