Custom Yamaguchi Benny
次回この記事の日本語版を投稿します。
Here is a fine customized Yamaguchi Benny, possibly a Marubeni-Yamaguchi Benny, sent in from U-san. According to U-san he fell in love with old utility bicycles due to how well they were made, not to mention their durability. Riding a comfortable, simple clean machine is how U-san relieves stress, an upright position and limited speed ensures that he can take in the scenery and enjoy the ride thereby forgetting daily cares.
Certainly is one clean machine! Sparkling!

Let's take a look at some of the additions. First off is a pair of manually operated turn signals.

Next up is a nice gold lettered frame sign and leather frame cover.
A nice cylindrical leather tool pouch (←link Japanese only) designed to fit in the loops of the hammock saddle.

Add a box to the rear carrier and it is like being transported back in time 50 years.

A big thanks goes out to U-san for sharing photos of his cusomized Yamaguchi Benny. If you would like to share photos of your vintage Japanese bicycle with other enthusiasts please send them to showajitensha@hotmail.co.jp
