I haven't yet been able to pick up the bike, the guy who sold it has it at his metal recycling plant (horrible thought), and wasn't in during the week. I'll go out and get it on Tuesday. Hopefully the weather won't be bad. The bike appears to be fitted with tubular tires, they seem to hold air, but if I get a flat on the way bag, I'll have a taxi bring me and the bike the rest of the way home. I'll bring a saddle (not too keen on the one I see on the bike), seat pack with tools and a pump, and maybe some SPD pedals. The plant is in an area not far from the Iruma River, one of my favorite cycling haunts. Unfortunately, the most direct way back is the road under the Chuo Expressway, which is not one of my favorite routes, but if it rains, at least it will help keep me dry.
