JAPAN FIXIE MADNESS ! *_* (9)
It's been quiet around here this month... But I am going to catch-up this week-end with at least 3 articles!
Bicycle lovers, here is a collection of snap-shots I took the last 3 or 4 months in the streets of Tokyo or Yokohama.
As you can see, lots of colors!
Most of pictures were taken around Shibuya.
This one was near Yokohama Station though.
If I remember well, this fixie came from Germany like its owner with whom I had a little chat. Sorry dude, I can't remember your name, if you stop here don't hesitate to let a comment!
I was surprised to find a real track bike from France.
And nicely equipped!
Also in Yokohama.
During the "La Machine" street show, near Akalenga.
Family bike, I like it.
Photo from the fixed gear, this time.
I guess you can recognize Shibuya.
This shop is near Omotesando hills, the closest station is Gaien Mae I think.
Not a fixie, but I am always surprised when I see a so much expensive bikes like this in the street... I would not do that in France...
Talking of France, here is a Gitane, far away from home!
These 2 last photos were taken with my new camera, a Nikon D5000, so from now quality of photos on this blog should increase!(hopefully)

this is steffen from cheese on wheelss, I need help getting a new frame.
I respectively a car door broke my "pride and joy" aka 70's orange colnago pista (http://www.flickr.com/photos/josesoj/3430434370/sizes/o/)
For that I need a new frame, any idea where I can find a nice frame in tokyo between 56 and 58cm (CT)?
Blue Lug had just a outworn Bridgestone on stock in my size.
cheers

Did you try at Sexon Pista ? [Sexon Pista .æ±äº¬éƒ½æ¸‹è°·åŒºç¥žæ³‰ç”ºï¼’２−５ ] I think they have 56cm frames, for 58cm I am not sure.
Then you can check on yahoo auctions, I guess... Sure it's not easy for tall guys around here...
Ganbare!

I took the owners Eddy for a spin, actually a pursuit frame is not that uncomfortable as I thought.
fun times... and well only one above 56cm maybe I have to go for a 56cm frame...

Sexon Pista is indeed a cool shop and I work 5mn from it :)
I did not know framebank.org. It seems really interesting, I will check it later. Thanks for the tip!

from Yokohama ,looking for a fixie
Bien content de trouver ton site fort agreable! Aussi je voulais savoir, toi qui a l`air bien expert, s`il est possible de trouver un fixie de relativement bonne qualite pour pas trop cher d`occasion ou pas sur Tokyo ou Yokohama. Et si oui, ou ca?
D`avance merci pour tes conseils eclaires.
A plus. Cordialement et cyclement votre!
Zu, novice en fixie!

si tu cherches un peu sur le blog il y a des debuts de reponses dans les differents articles ou meme dans les commetaires. Maisj'avoue faut chercher ce n'est pas centraliser.
Comme tu n'es pas le seul à me poser la question, je crois que je vais écrire un petit guide sur Tokyo/Yokohama pour le fixe ou peut- etre creer une page juste pour ca sur le blog, pour l'instant attends jusqu'a Mercredi, c'est congé j'aurai le temps de regrouper les infos que j'ai, ensuite j'espere que chacun ajoutera sa pierre au guide...
for english readers : To translate quickly, I am saying I m going to write a simple shopping guide for Tokyo and Yokohama as I have been asked often the same questions. All informations are most welcome.
Ride safe!
