Where in Tokyo might one find a master wheel builder? (Conventional wisdom
among the randonneuring cognoscenti is that wheels must be "old school," i.e.
have lots of spokes and be built not by a machine but by the hand a craftsman,
a master craftsman.)
I am iconoclast engouh to have blissfully ignored this advice in the shorter
brevets I've done, but in contemplating the longer distances yet to come I think
it prudent to at least consider the option of having such a wheelset built. Does
anyone know where in Tokyo I could have this done?
