While out in Japan, Jon was lucky enough to get to look around the Toyo Frames factory. Jon got to learn about the history of the brand, including that they've made frames for MTB and cyclocross legend Thomas Frischknet!

Founded in 1974, Toyo Frame is based in an old bearing factory. This is a company absolutely steeped in history, with the founder originally working for the iconic Panasonic frame company before starting Toyo Frame.
Jon was lucky enough to get a tour of the factory and even see their processes of making a frame. From bending and mitring tubes, to welding, and even how they get their incredible polished mirror finishes.

If you like shop tours, get a job for a software company selling CAD/CAM. I worked for a SolidWorks reseller for 15 years and went in hundreds of shops. Some high-tech, some literally a dude's garage. You learn a ton and mainly learn that folks are generally quite proud of how they make stuff, regardless if it's all robotic or completely by hand. Great video.

I had a custom 54cm Koichi Yamaguchi team USA track frameset made in early 90's. Another master frame builder from Japan who set up shop in the USA. He made frames for 3Rensho. Amazing workmanship. I could walk it down the street in a straight line with one finger behind saddle. It was the bike I was riding down 5th ave 42nd st. NYC when I saw the WTC on fire 2001.

A sophisticatedly-built steel frame is the manifestation of the highest level of craftsmanship and where the anesthetics of bike frames lies among among other materials. Which will be rarer to be seen in the future bicycle industry in which people are looking for light weight, low-cost and easy way to make bikes...

And I was right - wonderful video Jon.

@@cliffordromina3527 Since it was given to me by a very cool bike shop here in Japan, I gave it back and now it is on his wall. Long story short, it was handbuilt for a 62 KG Japanese climber and I am a 81 KG American crit rider. That frame never should have been under me. But it did do it's job, it got me hooked on the road(after 18 years on MTB). I did buy a carbon bike from the same shop.

It’s funny you mention this: I *have* one of those bikes. It’s a Trek Composite 2300. Mine’s a ‘92, I think. I was out on a run and the purple color in a yard sale caught my eye and stopped me in my tracks. I bought it from the guy as soon as I could get back and shower. I’ve been using it ever since: it’s my winter riding in the basement bike, though I rotate it in with the other bikes during the warmer months, too. I touched up the paint job, but it’s otherwise been a solid performer.
