Hi! gnatthew
Your frame size is almost the same as me.
There are few used frames because KALAVINKA is a frame atelier.
See you soon!!

Wow. I'd love to go.

If I only had an extra $1000, the time off from school, and worked as a messenger.

Tomity, I love when you post here. Thanks for the photos.

I don't know how I missed KyotoLOCO when I was there last year.

I wonder if the Kansai Scene will write it up this year. If not, some aspiring journalist could probably put an article in there.

i like this quote from the events page:


Mini-bike Race
It's a tournament race. 2 racers compete at once, and the faster wins.
You slalome the course using 6 inch mini-bike. Riding mini-bike will be so hard!!

so hard!!

I was producing CogSwatch aiming at MIXPRESION.
CogSwatch is Cogs + Swatch !!
It is genuine cog of 12T (for fixed bike)to use for the wristwatch.
After the prototype had been completed, the product was finally completed in some measure.
This wristwatch is complete and homemade in a special order.
It is scheduled to become about $300 though the price is undecided.

SEIBUEN Keirin velodrome is a train and exists from Tokyo and Shinjuku in the place of about one hour.

hey all,

i finally got around to re-sizing some pics from kyotoLOCO2005. it was great meeting everyone who made it out...unfortunately, it does not seem there will be a kyotoLOCO next year. if anyone makes it out to kyoto or the kansai area, feel free to gimme a holler...when i make it back home, i plan to swing past NYC to check some of y'all out. give alex (of trackstar) a big high five for sweeping some sweet swag, including a nice gan well frame(!), for his performances and just for being a cool cat!

I received messenger bag from Mr.Peter of Bagjack the other day.
This is a special bag that Mr.Peter of Bagjack made for me.
The design of this bag is an image of Tour de NOTO 400km by which I participated last year.
I will take a ride on a bicycle with this bag.
Please multiply Tomity!! and the voice if you saw this bag with KALAVINKA Keirin bike in the town.
I like this bag very much. I loved it
Thank you so much, BAGJACK Mr.Peter
