A project on the go:
Of note:
- restored Motobecane frameset
- Phil Wood hubs
- Mavic Open Pro rims
- Mafac brakes
- Nitto stem
- Honjo fenders
It should turn out nicely (in the end it will be a singlespeed townie).

I thought those fenders were plastic-wrapped tires.

I think he's talking about the not-a-seatpost. And yes, that is exactly what it's for.

Thanks man! As far as I've been able to tell the only major advantage to this particular frame design is the attention is commands, hehe. No seriously, I've been chugging along and had people driving next to me try to start conversations about it. Other than that it rides like a dream!

So you ride it on the street a lot? It visits the track i assume though?
Really cool stuff! Thanks for posting it.
The stand is taped to the crank.

Not many of those bikes exist. Being too long away from the track probably makes it sad.
I hope it gets raced every once in a while.
Good looking build though.
Looks like it might be one of the most expensive builds I've seen.
I've been lusting after one of the sloping TT + curved seat tube Yamaguchi's but they've always been way outside my price range.

Just to make sure the Yamaguchi doesn't get all the love, this is going to be awesome. Who did the paint/decals? It looks great.

I think that Yamaguchi just might fit my vision of the hottest bike (even the Brooks doesn't look awful (though I would change it)). Wow.
I just took pictures of my Makino to post, but I think it may have to wait. That Yamaguchi is killer.

The rims are just the stock Alex DA-22s. I was thinking about getting some open pros with my performance giftcard when they are in stock.
I actually thought that was going to be a big problem, but my hands are just fine on the tops of the bars. I think it would be uncomfortable for long distances. Luckily I never have the need to ride more than about 10 miles at a time. The tape is Soma Thick and Zesty. I think it matches the brooks pretty well.
