Component History

This component history page was designed to give as much information as possible about components found on your favorite Japanese bicycle.
See drop down menu.

When possible, we will continue to add to this page as we investigate further into the various manufacturers.  In fact,  if there is a brand you don’t see here, please let us know through the contact page on this site.

Moreover, we will be using various media to find the history on these quality components from Japan.   As a matter of fact, many were imported by various companies during the bike boom of the 70’s.

With this in mind, among the items we will be posting here are some of the  brands that were found on many of these bicycles.  Suntour, Shimano, Sugino and MKS just to name a few.
