FIXED IN JAPAN (10)

Cleaning up my folders I stumbled upon these photos and I wondered why I haven't uploaded yet them...well here they are! Some photos were taken as far as last October so don't mind please... Anyway the following posts might contain also some "old" material as I haven't uploaded anything during March but kept things in a "to blog" folder.

If you came here before April you noticed the slightly new design of the blog. Some features have disappeared like the possibility to comment with a Twitter account but it will come back soon. I am also working on a mobile version of the blog that should be ready by the end of the week :)

One new feature of the blog is that from now I will display the photos in a larger format, I hope you like it. Well that's about it for now! Time for me to lunch ~

The new larger format looks good. And your view through the nikon gear is 'Très bien'. :)

Merci, the Nikon helps a lot indeed :-) I am still using the basic kit 18-55mm. There 's still lots of room on my side for improvement!

Hello Jerome,
my name is Luca and like you i love Japan and fixed gear bikes,
i came to live in Tokyo 3 months ago with my french girlfriend and brought with me many italian pista bicycle parts and frames to sell them and make some money while i am looking for a job here.
I was supposed to sell them at the Sekidobashi market that should have been last saturday but it rained.
Do you know if it is going to be next saturday ?
And since it should rain again do you know what is going to happen or where i can get more informations about it ?
Thank you very much.
Luca

Ciao Luca,

Indeed the market should take place next Saturday I've been told. I have few contacts, I will be able to tell you before Saturday if there s any changes. I just checked the weather previsions and it may not rain, maybe you will be lucky. In the bad case of a one more rainy day, I would advise you to sell your stuff on Yahoo Auction, I am sure you can make some good money here with Italian parts/frame if they are in good condition. Other option would be to contact some shops owner but I don't know if it would be a good deal for you. Until when are you in Japan ? Ok I am going to send you a mail now it will be easier... :)

The Silver Bianchi with bullhorns and a goldfinger brake lever: Is that an LED light wrapped around the neck? If so is this available anywhere on the web? I'd looooove to have one.

Ouep :) tu roules en fixe aussi des fois? t as quoi ? Sinon oui le montage du cintre est disons original. Remarque aussi sur les autres photos les bikes avec manettes de freins et mâchoires mais rien pour freiner! C est moche et inutile...[je crois que la raison est de rouler brakeless sans éveiller les soupçons de la police (a confirmer)...mais bon la autant garder un frein avant je trouve...]

By Crichan Micael At 2010-06-11 23:33:58

oui je roule en fixe plutot souvent en ce moment j'ai un menisque fissure
La saison de tri etant tombe a l'eau en attendant la reprise de CAP
J'avais un cyty link gitane que j'ai changer pour un bowery84 guidon piste et brakeless (les flics je n'y ai pas penser j'avoue : ) )

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
