the ganwell factory is in kyoto and nagasawa is either in osaka or kyoto.. i forget. i haven't been yet, but from what i hear ganwell may have been more or less cleared out of frames by the recent kyotoloco messenger convention that was in town. worth a look, though.

It looks like one of the new Surly cogs. I've heard good things.

This is my KALAVINKA for street tracker for MIXPRESION (Kyotoloco 2005 pre event)
I was using this bicycle to Keirin race.
Bike messenger is mimicked recently and it sometimes runs in the bag in Tokyo
for bearing.

Hi!! mookchigga
How are you doing?

I shared five cheerful people who had come from San Francisco for three days until
yesterday with time. (Oct.24-26, )

Their Tokyo Keirin & KALAVINKA tour will return from October 21 to 27 today.

Does anybody know of any keirin factories on Shikoku or in the Hiroshima area or is Kansai my best option?

here's my custom RAP, soon to be states-bound with Ceya's help. hopefully i won't get injured at the start of velo season next year, and i'll fully be able to embarrass myself in person.

and here are some shots taken one of the keirin velodromes - apologies for the quality, but i had to sneak the shots. security does not approve of photography, unfortunately.
