Track bikes in Tokyo (picture heavy)
Met up with Deathhare tonight and took a trip out to a fabled Tokyo bike shop. Turns out they only had one bike in our size, and neither of us were too keen on the gaudy paintjob. Still, it was a good time.

That Rasta bike is amazingly ridonkulous. It makes Shant's Fisher Price Bridgestone look downright understated.
p.s. whoever painted the Reminton has GOT to be colorblind
