ericbaumann: Shop Visit: Tomii Cycles Tucked away in his basement shop in Woburn, Nao Tomii is quietly making some of the most beautiful custom steel frames in the Greater Boston area. Although new to the frame-building game, Nao has produced several different chainrings and top tube protectors in recent years under his other brand name, 3RRR. His frames display a level of refinement and craft that you would expect from a builder with decades of experience, which isn’t all that surprising considering he had the privilege of learning the craft from one of Boston’s (now North Carolina’s) finest, Ian Sutton of Icarus Frames. I recently had the opportunity to spend an evening with Nao in his shop as he worked on a few projects. We talked bikes (shocker), took some photos, and I left pondering what I could sell off to put down a deposit on a Tomii of my own… Tomii Cycles Flickr -- source link
