TOKYO SHOP VISIT : DREAMWORKS CYCLES (4)


I visited the shop few weeks ago, I used to work really close to it but not any more so it has been a while since my last visit.

Dreamworks Cycles

I thought you might like to see what there is in this incredible shop. There's always some awesome things to see and buy, especially if you are into NJS stuff.

I was looking for Italian frames on a reader request, there was 2 of them, beautiful and BIG prices :-) Obviously it's cheaper in Europe.

Honestly you have to see it for real to really appreciate [I guess the owner would say : "you have to try it to appreciate it"... I wish I could...]

It is written : Trophé Super Prestige Pernod (International) Arc en Ciel. 1978. Indeed it is the name of race won by Moser this year.

Thanks to the shop owner who let me take the photos. Next shop visit will be Sexon Super Peace, it is located  just 200m from Dreamworks so basically when you visit one you visit the other too.

And please check his homepage : Dreamworks Cycles . His blog : Build the Legend (Updated on a regular base). And his Webstore .

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
