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.
