Here is the catalog of Sugino in 1973.
The way written by Katakana comes nicely rather than writing with Chinese character.
Present company name is Sugino techno.
Cospea, Qualite, and XD2 are known well in the market as products of Sugino.
Though Sugino had announced a group-set Sugino 75 series in 1980s, the company is basically a maker specializing in crank.
A number of cyclists must have used Mighty-competition, Pro-dynamic, Mighty-tour.
Nowadays, the compact-drive has been in a boom in the field of road racing, and its PCD 110 mm standard originated to Mighty-tour.
And present PCD 74 mm of inner ring of Road-triple was also introduced with a MTB crank AT in 1983.
I think the design concept of Sugino has been firmly succeeded in such sense even now.
The previous president Mr. Yasushi Sugino had contributed a number of traveler's journals to New cycling magazine.
He wrote about parts maker, frame builder, bicycle show, scenery of cycling, competition, and so on as a topic.
I used to enjoy reading them.
I hope that Sugino continue to introduce new conception as a maker specializing in chain-wheel.
