Yoshi Konno

Yoshi Konno (Yoshi Miyakawa), masterbuilder of 3Rensho frames, is known to be quite an innovator back in his days. Started off unbrazing Cinelli frames after the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, his craftmanship soon got well sought and from there his career built him into a masterbuilder! and by looking at that marvelous track bike, his brains are most likely ahead of everyone else! Sadly, his precise craftmanship has been paralyzed due to a serious car crash and therefore, if you see a 3Rensho, buy it because there will be no more of 3Rensho frames.
