I have been lucky to find 2 frames that were crashed or damaged but could be rebuilt by skilled frame builders. One was a California-built Masi Gran Criterium 62cm-tubes had been attacked by an angry wife+hammer, rebuilt by an original Masi builder in Calif. The other was this 62cm 3Rensho that I have been looking for in my size, for many years, front end crashed+no fork. I can't say enough good things about the job that Brian had done to rebuild/hand file+match lugs on this bike. What a beautiful job! Not too many builders have the skill to do what Brian did. So in the end I saved-at some expense-A beautiful California Masi and an equally beautiful 3Rensho,both of which were well worth preserving.
