GOD DAMN that's a fine looking bike! Don't worry about Toyo. In real terms it's like finding out your Porsche factory has closed down and they secretly out-sorced the continuing work to Rolls Royce!

Is there a decal on the seattube just above the bottom bracket, and does it say: made by Tom Ritchey or design by Tom Ritchey?

By seeing it when you view the neat welds and great detailling ...and by experiencing it when you get the smile on your face when riding it
Japanese are very into detailling. With great frames a lot is about detailling. I think it is also in Japanese nature they can be very serious and committed in what they are doing.

the japanese always strive for perfection in everything they do
it is practically an obsession with them
while training in the martial arts , i asked the instructor what the reason for the white bands were for on the black belt , which you recieve for passing the next level , the same as a different colour belt
the reply was .... when you pass your black , it takes another 2 years for the first band then another 2 , and so on
the highest you reach is 10
so by the time you get to 10th dan , would be about 20 years
and in this time your belt would practically be returned to white
the colour of the beginner , and the reason for this was .............
to remind you that in the 20 years since passing your black ,
there MUST be something that you have forgotten
making you start your training , ALL OVER AGAIN
PERFECTION !!!!
