Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

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.

Japnese UDON noodle restaurant "JAZZ KEIRIN"

A lot of favorite KEIRIN of you is here.
The TV relay of KEIRIN can be seen in the shop.
It will be possible to go from Shinjuku to Tokyo in the shop by train in about ten minutes.
The storekeeper inquires with GUEST BOOK because he can speak English well.

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.

I am planning watching Keirin race on September 17.
It is likely to become possible permission watching of the society that sponsors the Keirin race.
It is not easy to take the permission.
Keirin race of the watching schedule is SEIBUEN Keirin velodrome.
SEIBUEN Keirin velodrome is a train and exists from Tokyo and Shinjuku in the place of about one hour.

SEIBUEN Keirin velodrome

I attach to watching and details will be announced here if it understands.

Hi!! chimblysweep
These frames are very valuable existence also in Japan.
I bought it from the player who was importantly keeping this frame.

In this frame, the fork is Samurai swords frame in the model name of "Katana".
"Katana" is a very valuable very popular model in foreign countries.

>i plan on making it to kyotoloco next year. i'm saving up my frequent flyer miles.

Ok,see you next time!!

These are Keirin-man clock, Keirin-man magnets, Keirin caps, Keirin T-shorts, uniforms, towels, and Tomity cogs.....e.t.c.

I prepared the present in MIXPRESION.
There is an unusual article not for sale in these.

These will be presented to the people who participated in MIXPRESION.
Who can get it?

We go to watch Seibuen Keirin race on September 17.
And, it specially visits the inside.

We will be able to see Keirin bike 90 genuine.
Be not late at the set time.

Please make it to your enjoyment.
See you soon at Tokyo Japan.

This is my KALAVINKA for MIXPRESION
Perhaps, if I end MIXPRESION, I will sell this bicycle.
I saw an interesting Japanese picture in the town yesterday.
It is an illustration of the story of old Japan.
