FUJI TOMATO PURSUIT 2011 AND CO. (1)


I usually only display pictures I've taken myself but this time I stole the following pics from http://hashirin.com/ so please check also this homepage (in Japanese) for a complete review of the Fuji 2011 models with prices (in Yen).

I will display here only the fixed gear, single speed, track models.

First is the Fuji and Tomato collaboration pursuit bike. First seen (for me) on Kentalog blog last year : http://klogr.blogspo t.com/2009/09/fuji-x-tomato-pursuite-model-2011.html

The model here is still a prototype, notice that instead of the previously "Pursuit Model", it is now written "Low-pro model", I am not sure of the meaning. I hope it will be displayed at the Cycle Mode Tokyo in next November. The price tag is 120000 yens before taxes and it will be a limited edition of 100 bikes, starting December. If I can have more info I will update the post.

Below are the new colours for the Feather, it seems it's the only difference compared to the 2010 model.

Track models have also new colours, Track Comp is renamed Track 2.0.

And finally an other new model : the "Venom" with a special wide rim. This model will come later due to some late changes in geometry (I am translating the original source).

Check the source for more pictures and details. Mini-velo fans may be happy with the release of the COMET, kind of cute bike. Go check it!

2011 will be another good year for Fuji by the looks of things.

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
