if you're going to shell out $800 for a dented frame, you might as well add another $3-400 and get a brand new one. a custom Yamaguchi frame starts at around $1100, is undented, and he used to build for 3Rensho before he emigrated to the US. 3Renshos are nice frames, but folks act like they're *******s from god and they're really no better than any other frame from that era. hell, 3Rensho wasn't even a one man shop in the 80's, f'crissake.
(i'mma put some 3Rensho decals on my Alien, once i get it painted)
