gan well
this just spotted elsewhere...
| July 13, 2006 "This is Takuya ,KAZE Kyoto speaking. How are you doing? Is there anyone who ride Ganwell in the Trackstar? There is a sad news to tell you. Mr.Doi, the frame-builder of Ganwell passed away last week by the pancreatic problem. He was building frames until the day he was hospitalized. This Sunday is his 60 years old birthday and it was also his retirement day. I have strong respect on Mr.Doi who spent all his life to make great bikes. He was very proud that messengers around the world use his bikes among Keirin racers. Even he was a quiet guy, he was talking about that all the time. If the rider of Ganwell send a message of condolence, that will make Doi�fs family and people of Ganwell feel proud."

Thanks Manet,
As some on this forum know, Gan well Pro frames are among those certified for Japanese Keirin. http://homepage.mac.com/tomity/PhotoAlbum37.html http://boxwood.subtle.org/se/gallery/jpparts/ganpelviv http://www.euroasiaimports.com/produ...idCategory=396 I'm sure Lane can tell us more, 11.4 where are you? g Last edited by Grant McLean; 07-15-2006 at 03:36 PM.

Yeah, nice frames, and it's sad that Doi-san died. I heard he was in bad health for quite a while. He's one of the last of a whole generation of keirin frame builders. Now you have a number of younger builders who are also willing to embrace aluminum and carbon as they are adopted under NJS standards.
