That is a very nice looking bike, dissemination. Seriously. I really like it. Very clean. Watch out for those Suzue Jrs, though.
whatever

Damn I wish I could have taken that wheel into the lighting studio for some pics, that is a beautiful mess.
edit: I would hazzard a guess that a vice was involved in getting the cog and lockring off.

oh and yes, a vice was involved.

I wanted to say, Hi!
I'm new to the fixed gear world. I just got my first frame, was REALLY lucky. It's my winter project. Any suggestions?

"Any suggestions"="I have no idea what I'm doing". I love that peoples "first" frames are Sannys.

Allow new people time to assimilate before you inundate them with what is deemed "cool." Durability is more important than Dura-Ace at this stage.

That is not a winter project...that is an Ebay project and then you can go buy something nice like a Chesini or somethin.

Yikes. That 3rensho is quite the starter frame. Well, im hoping since you're in kyoto you didnt have to pay close to what they go for in the us/ebay! there are some pictures of my old 3rensho here: https://flickr.com/photos/onetwentyei...7594090343546/ which may provide you some inspiration, but if i were you id go more inexpensive components to start till you figure out what you like. good luck, and ride safe. kyoto is one of the coolest places ive ever been and ridden in, and i am very jealous you get to live there.
