Restored 3Rensho Super Record Aero

I put this bike together in 2016, after I completed the restoration of the frame.  The restoration process is documented here.  The smaller of the two Super Record Aero frames sold quickly, but this larger one hung around for a while.  I came into possession of a Lotus Classique bicycle, which I stripped in order to build up this 3Rensho.

In addition to the stock Sugino and Suntour components, I added modern Tektro brake levers, and cork bar tape that was shellacked a dark brown.  I also added a 3Rensho pantographed stem I had at the time, to give it some extra flair.  It was sold soon afterwards.  I realized recently that I’d never published any photos of the built up bike, so click “Read More” to check out the full hi-res gallery after the jump.
