When a bike is that nice, it almost doesn't matter who made it. It will always be a nice bike.

I don't remember who made Nishiki in those days. Anyone know?

I think Kuwahara made Soma bikes.

Tsunoda was a big Japanese maker. They made the Lotus bikes. Tsunoda was about as good as any other maker.
