I think in the past 15 years, I can only remember seeing two in my size for sale, one of which I really wish I'd splurged on ca. 2005-2006 and the other was priced too high. For anyone who cares, Cherubim is doing a run of 8 reproductions with the original parts and has teased about the possibility of possibly being able to do a few more in the future.

Here's a pair. The white bike is mine, the tandem isn't, but it's on eBay.

It drives me crazy when someone does this to a track bike to give it street cred; makes the bike almost unrideable.

Beautiful bike, you did a really nice job building up that frame. Enjoy!

PS> I like the fastback seatstays.

Not me. I sold mine years ago. Dumb on me, as I really didn't need the cash.

Somebody is enjoying it.

Not mine, but this one's a ringer.

Awesome! Thanks for the posts, guys. I managed to find another early aero 3Rensho. It'll need a restoration but could be a fun summer project.

My old pal Dave Hickey from RoadBike Review was a big fan of 3Rensho (and Japanese bikes in general)--and had a blog going for awhile--looks like not anymore--but there are a fair number of pictures:
