日本のピストバイク (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.

Yes it is , quite easy to find around here, I don't know for Texas ... one brand producing this kind of led : http://www.knog.com.au/ProductDetails.aspx?productId=158

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...]

- Crichan Micael - 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 : ) )

浜バイク：夜の船のパーティ

Today I spent the day in Yokohama near the Symbol Tower, deep in the port of Yokohama where took place the Geared Up event.A kind of race for pro messengers supported by Red Bull and other brands for rewards.

For now I propose you the last set of pics related to the Hama Bike event, that was 2 weeks ago.I did not have a ticket but thanks to COG magazine photographer/writer @esehama I could get a ticket fro th... 続きを見る

スタンドコンテストのビデオ

Track Stand contest on a boat: what a great idea! Being on a cruising boat obviously added some difficulties (there were waves).Congratulations to the winner, great balance skills!(some could barely stand on their own but I think it was not only due to the waves :-))More photos and videos of the party to come, probably tomorrow... 続きを見る

浜バイク - 日中

This is the "Photo report" from last week bicycle event in Yokohama. (announced here last month).

Nice style but kind of heavy compared to my road race helmet...which is almost 10 years old...mmmI know they are more dedi... 続きを見る

夜ライドと横浜の自転車のお店

Saturday evening I took the Feather for a ride in Yokohama, a little bit everywhere from Minato Mirai to the heights of Yamate.It was a very pleasant night.I took the Nikon D5000 with me and shoot few pics. I love this place. There is a nice mood and It is very photogenic.Many photographers were around.I tried different set-ups in manual mode. I only show few of them as the view is little bit always the same…Ok I tried an auto-portrait with the minuter… Some people looked at me strangely … ah!Th... 続きを見る
