Jitensha is a great bike shop, but it's not a place you go and browse. You have to know exactly what you want, and Hiroshi will either go behind the curtain and bring it out for you or special order it. The special orders always come in within 3 days - that's service. If you go in and seem kind of clueless, he'll make you leave - kindly and gently, for sure - but you will be kicked out.

Sadly, never ridden any of the Shulas or Ebisus - too expensive. But I would also like to talk to someone who has.

Oh yeah - he also does the best wheel-build you'll ever find for $35.
