 | | Since Howie Cohen's passing, no items are for sale. | | A little history; Yasushi Sugino, the founder of the company, was a very kind and passionate man. In addition to managing a large factory producing a multitude of styles of cranks and chainwheels, he was a very talanted photographer, specializing in black and white photography. He has been published several times and his art books are included in Howie`s library. He wanted to photograph Death Valley at dawn so Dave Hammond, a WCCSC employee, guided Yasushi to Death Valley at least two times that I recall. Dave was also a kind and peaceful man so there was a good connection between them. Yasushi presented Howie with a huge handmade chainring (372 teeth) when WCCSC opened a new large and modern wearhouse. This valuable momento now decorates the exterior wall of Howie`s garage, facing the back yard; a photo is also in the category of `Wall Hanging Decor`. Kozo Sugino, Yasushi`s son, now manages the company. The market conditions in Japan have changed dramatically between 1963 and 2007; I have watched the evolution closely. |
