Fine Example of Japanese Craftsmanship: Yasujiro Cameo

Hand-Crafted Elegance: Tange Ultimate CrMo Lugged Frame

At the heart of the Yasujiro Cameo lies a masterpiece of metalwork that showcases Japanese Craftsmanship. The hand-made lugged frame uses Tange’s Ultimate Chromoly steel. It offers a perfect mix of strength, light weight, and the smooth ride that steel fans love. The careful lugged joins create eye-catching details that boost the frame’s classic look.

The Cameo includes the top-quality Tange Prestige Chromoly fork that matches the frame’s lively yet comfy ride feel. The classic 1-inch head tube with a Tange Seiki headset gives exact steering control. At just 1990g for a 52cm frame with fork, the Cameo shows that old-school building methods still deliver great performance.

Premium Campagnolo Super Record 11-Speed Groupset

The Yasujiro Cameo steps up its game with the famed Campagnolo Bora Ultra Tubular wheels. These top Italian wheels cut spinning weight while making the bike more aero and smooth. The tubular setup works with Continental Competition Tubular tires in 700x22c size. These tires give great road feel and low rolling drag.

Shifting comes from the Campagnolo Super Record Ultra Shift Ergopower levers that offer exact control and great hand feel. The Super Record Skeleton brakes cut weight and give strong stopping power in all weather. This mix of Japanese frames and Italian parts makes a bike that stands out from today’s modern options.

Lightweight Performance: Campagnolo Bora Ultra Tubular Wheels

The Yasujiro Cameo furthermore elevates its performance through the inclusion of legendary Campagnolo Bora Ultra Tubular wheels. Consequently, these high-end Italian hoops significantly reduce rotating weight while simultaneously enhancing aerodynamics and ride quality. Additionally, the tubular design allows for the mounting of Continental Competition Tubular tires in a 700x22c size, which therefore delivers exceptional road feel and remarkably low rolling resistance.

The Bora Ultra wheels are the ideal match for this Japanese-Italian team-up. They suit the frame’s quick handling style. The light build of these wheels helps climbing and sprinting. This wheel choice shows how classic Japanese Craftsmanship can work well with cutting-edge Italian race tech.

Carbon Components: Ritchey and Tange Premium Finishing Kit

The Yasujiro Cameo includes a set of carbon parts that cut weight while adding comfort. The Ritchey WCS Carbon stem works with the Tange Full Carbon handlebar. Together they make a stiff but smooth cockpit. The Ritchey Super Logic seatpost adds to this by being light and soaking up bumps.

This blend of top materials and careful design creates a ride that honors both Japanese skill and Italian racing spirit.
