Tsunoda was established by Mr. Shimataro Tsunoda in 1926 as Tsunoda Shoten (company). The company became a maker, changed the company name as Tsunoda bicycle Co., Ltd. by Mr. Shigenobu Tsunoda in 1950. After that, the company grew up, got listed on Nagoya Stock Exchange 2nd Section in 1962. There must be person who remember commercial song of Tsunoda as “T.U (model name) of Tsun-tsun Tsunoda”. The company seemed to produce nearly 300000 bicycles per year at a peak period. Nowadays, imported bicycle occupies more than 90 percent in the market. The company alrerady left from bicycle industry, became real estate company which manages old factory site.


Below images are copies of 39 page catalog. I mainly posted sport bicycle such as Saturn, Grand-Prix, omitted city bicycle, junior sport bicycle. The company earnestly worked on bicycle production, had sold frame as simple product, or accept the order of tailor made frame
I seldom saw real bicycle of Tsunoda. But as long as carefully see the catalog, Saturn was made by professional work, and was used nice color.
