FUJI BIKES AT CYCLE MODE (4)




As you know I have a Fuji Feather bike and I am quite happy with it : I use it every day to go and back from home to the station. It is always parked outside since the day I bought it and is still in fair condition. Only the cheapest parts suffered the bad weather. For the price it is a good ride. So I was quite excited to see the 2010 models from Fuji.

Impressive booth to showcase the track bikes.

This one is a special edition : "Feather Pure" to celebrate the 111th anniversary of the brand. Only 111 pieces will be built and sold all over the world, expect them around June 2010... No idea how to get one or any price idea though... A classic road model received also the "Pure" treatment for the anniversary.

Fuji Feather 2010, the new look is quite close to what I've done with my 2009 model!

Anyone could ride the sample bikes at the Cycle Mode.

Very nice also if you are looking for speed and modern design ... or simply a track racer.

If you wonder, Fuji was a Japanese company (obviously) but currently it belongs to an American corporation in Philadelphia : Advanced Sports Inc.

Fuji is pushing a lot in the recent years to have back a good quality image. Keep-up the good work Fuji!

[If everything goes well, I should be able to show more about the 2010 Feather model... Wait and see ;-)]

OSAKA CYCLEMODE 2011 - TRIATHLON BIKES

Last Saturday I took the train at 6AM for a day in Osaka, needless to say it is very unusual I wake up before the sun in Japan but that was worth it.My plan was to visit the Cyclemode show in Osaka. Previous years you could see on my blog that I visited the Tokyo edition. Now I live closer to Osaka, plus that was a good opportunity to visit a little bit the city again. My first steps in Japan were in Osaka in 2005 but I haven't been back since then! Anyway I took of course lots of pics at t... Read more

RANDOM BICYCLES FROM 2011

I just found this folder of pics that I collected through the year. As I am living now in the countryside I have, needless to say (way) less opportunities to stumble upon cool bikes... So this kind of post might get seriously rare on this blog... unless someone is willing to share his bikes shots from any city of Japan! I would totally accept someone to post here if he wants... The blog is still very well ranked in google for searches about tokyo/japan and fixed gears/fixie etc etc... I am more... Read more

HILL CLIMB IN DAISEN - BICYCLE RACE

Results here : Hill Climb in Daisen - ResultsOn October 16, I took part in the Hill Climb in Daisen. An event organized by the Tottori Cycling Association. Not officially a race, as the road was not closed [there was one place where you might have to stop : there was one traffic light… I was lucky, in a good timing…], but anyway I can tell you there was a bunch of us who took it as a race :-)Goal was pretty simple : start from Odake Castle [a big hotel] and ride up the hill during 14k. For those... Read more

TRIATHLON TRAINING, THE FIRST 2 MONTHS

Already more than 2 months have passed since I've started to train again.First month I focused on short distances on running, with 7 sessions around 5-6 km just trying to keep a constant rhythm but never trying to push it. I also added 6 cycling trainings and just one swim training.The goal was to reboot the body, sort of speaking, I just followed my feelings and never cared so much about the speed. I was just enjoying my return to the sport (I still do).I train often around Togo lake with my bi... Read more

TRIATHLETE EQUIPMENT ROOM - NOT MINE THOUGH :-(

Just a short post before to go to bed for the equipment geek among us :I stumbled upon this video today. Helle Frederiksen, pro-triathlete from Denmark presents us her equipment room, quite impressive (if you are into endurance multi-sports that said...)Now I wonder how she can keep it so clean! :-) Read more
