Kusaka-San Appreciation

The Kinfolk/Ways And Means guys from Tokyo did a nice write-up on Kusaka-san, the man who built Vivalo keirin frames for nearly 30 years, and builds now custom bikes for their Kinfolk Bicycles brand. 

Being owner of a Vivalo Keirin bike myself, I need to express my respect for Sensei Kusaka by linking some nice photo resources with plenty of pics from his workshop in Kobe, Japan.
