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 ;-)]

FUJI PROJECT JOURNAL - 1

Training is going on pretty well. Yes, the heat makes it harder but anyway it will be hot also on d-day. I do running, cycling and even some swimming sessions. Cross training is the best to get back in shape without hurting your body with repetitive routines. With cross training all our muscles got involved one day or an other so one can get in shape in a smoother and less traumatic way.I start to feel better and better. Saturday I took the Fuji Track Comp and rode from Yokohama where I live to... Read more

BICYCLE SHOPS IN YOKOHAMA

It's been a while that I uploaded some bicycle related article here. So time to catch up a little bit. [an other article should follow tomorrow or monday]As I needed to buy some new tubes I visited the Y's Road shop in Yokohama. It was a good occasion to check their fixie corner. As I said in an old post this shop is not specialized in fixed gear bikes but more on road race ones. In this category they have everything you can dream of. As for the fixed gear bikes I was a little bit disappoin... Read more

TOKYO FIX IPHONE APP

Today I downloaded the Tokyo Fix iPhone App. It was released just recently by Ollie Magazine, a street culture mag it seems. The app costs 230 yen which is reasonable. Here are some screen-shots showing you the main functions of the app.                                                      &nbs... Read more
