Finally I built up my new bike. White aluminum frame, Gran Compe complete wheels with Vittoria tires.

Vans for Commute!?!?

Got new Vans all black Authentic yesterday.

It was on sale couples of months before but it was soon sold out. I've been looking for it but finally I found some stock in Shibuya. Actually I'm now building new bike for my commute from Tokyo Station to my office, I've been looking for a confortable sneaker for office use. I have no doubt I AM the first business man in Japan waring pair of Vans on duty.

Here's the conversation between shop staff and me...

"Do u have 7.5 of this?"

"Sure, I will come back with it soon, sir."

"Good, I'll buy this. Do you have some more in stock?"

"Oh, do you want one more?"

"Nah... I want as many as you have in stock."

"E...Excuse me???"

"I want all you have, please check how many you have in stock."

"Yes, sir!!! Just let me check, sir!!!"

"Sir, Sorry but we have only one more stock in our warehouse. I'll go there and come back in five minutes, could you wait for a while?"

"I appreciated it."

I also got black leather shoe lace and changed it already.

NITTO Drop Bar

I digged old bike shop today and found 1980's Nitto Arminum Drop Bar.

There were, I guess, at least 10 dead stock drop bar in this shop and I found Nitto out among these!

It's really dusty and rusty though I know how to restore it.

Grandma says 'Oooh, you found it? Do you like it?? But you have to be careful the size, you know.'

Actually I didn't have measure but Grandma told me 'Bring it and check it out if it will go well with your stem, boy?'

It takes couples of hours to my place but I dashed my room and checked the size of it....

Disco!

Two minutes later, I set the Drop Bar and rode my bike to the shop.

It was really hot today and I sweat, sweat, sweat and got wet. It was really long round trip but I was ok. When I came back Grandma said 'Is that your bike and the Bar??? What a bike, boy, I am glad to see the handle on your bike!'

It was a good holiday today.

Sunday Cruising

Long time no post though...

Cruised downtown last Sunday, visited secret stream, was chillin with ice cooled beer.
I met two guys on Mama-Chari from Tokyo on the way to the stream, they said they are headding to Busan, Korea via Fukuoka!

Can you believe this???

Trip to Aomori

I will leave my place at 0200 day after tomorrow and heading to the north.

About 770km from my place, there is a beautiful place called "Oirase", where I've been wanted to visit for a long time.

I will stay "Tsuta Onsen" for three days, enjoy playing golf, taking hotspring, chilling with beer!

Trip to Tado

I've been wanted to visit Tado in Mie Prefecture, where is famous for Tado Matsuri, for more than five years. Finally I could visit there and see Ageuma Festival during the Golden Week.

Take Shinkan-sen to Nagoya, get JR Line to Kuwana then transfer to Yoro Railway to Tado. Six 16-year-old young jockey selected among the town, ride on a horse, jump up the cliff to the temple! It's soooooo exciting!!!Play for God before horse riding.

Drunken sisters!

Veiw from the cliff.

He did it!!!
Grand ma's place. Nearly 100 year old house, most of the parts made by wood even Fusuma! So cool.Kuwana is famous for Hamaguri. Can't stop drinking.

I'll be there next year!!!

Masi Speciale Fixed Ltd.

Got a new bike "Masi Speciale Fixed Ltd." recently.
I used to ride PEUGEOT Colibli but I've been wanted to ride track bike so I sold it and bought MASI.

It's my first time to ride on Fixed Gear and I found it's really fun to ride and customize it.

Handle : Nitto
Grip : Oury
Saddle : Regal White Leather
Tire : Front Vittoria White, Rear Vittoria Red

I also made some parts by myself!

There's a lot of Bikers around my place especially on weekend, some rides from their house, some take train and ride around.

Just say "Hi!" when you found my bike!!!
