This guy was on my team and was equal to Toby in complete crazy energy I think. 
On the ride home he was swinging his polo mallet around and yelling at people. High-larious. And then I would toot the Annoyanator 5k and he'd kill himself laughing.

Why do I have trouble imagining the skater/messer scene shopping there?
"Every season, Gentei re-imagines it’s shop space with a new theme, redesigning the store and tailoring the shop’s collection to match. In the fall of 2005 the shop’s first theme was military; a diverse selection of BDU and fatigue inspired designs lined the racks, while the shop itself was accented with surplus military goods to match an insignia inspired mural. For spring and summer of 2006 the shop switched over to a fixed gear cycling theme; a common interest of the shop’s creator and staff—the floor becoming a mini-velodrome, the walls covered in a cycling mural, and the shop’s collection hand picked to fit the cycling theme."
Read....every year we try to maximize our profits by capitalizing on we see as being the most popular subculture being slogged to our hipster clients' who MUST have the most fashionable of everything cool as dictated to them by style mavens.

haha they have the pink panasonic with 90 degree seat tube and mirror disc wheel. Enough said. That bike is notorious! Its got an aerospoke front now!
I want to go there with a stripped seatpost binder bolt and see their reaction of horror. Pull out an allen key and they scatter!

Also good to know I can have my old beat up parts powder-coated and sell em for 3 times what they are worth.
