| Howie worked closely with Rio Marui, Sammy Shigemura & Ed Yokohama. Marui exported one expensive model of an American Eagle bicycle and many different Japanese components to WCC. When WCC found it necessary for Howie to move & live in Japan, Marui was extremely helpful in loaning Howie`s family some furniture for the rented house in Kobe. Marui developed and owns the Tioga line of components & parts. Marui opened a USA office under the name Oriental Boeki, located in Glendale, CA; Rio`s son, Shinji, worked in this office with Mark Pippin. This picture is of Howie introducing Rio Marui at the WCC 1972 Cycle Rama Show. Additional pictures & text pending. See the picture gallery.| Picture Gallery for this Item (click images to enlarge) |
