..but since I know all these frames were heading out to japan (where most builds ARE joke builds) I don't think it is:
Still looking for a more informative link. Painted frames seen on Prollz..
I remember seeing a couple of those frames while I was attending the frame building course before they were painted. While I'm generally not into fixed freestyle frames, those things were fucking amazingly built. Lots of nice details as per usual with Koichi's work..
Having said that, I really can't fucking stand aerospokes. Let alone Realtree painted ones..
The thing Koichi was saying about those frames is that they're some of the first he's released in Japan for sale by retailers. When he left 3Rensho to start building his own frames, Yoshi Konno told him it was cool to make frames in/for the US, but that he'd appreciate it if he stayed out of the Japanese market. Koichi of course respected his wishes and stayed away. He feels as tho enough time has finally passed and he can start offering his frames there in low numbers..
WAIT, found the original link here tho it doesn't really give up much more info..
