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!! mate
This frame is my friend's thing.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/witz/43...in/set-944341/
The name is Hideo Chiba.
He lives in Saitama Prefecture.
His profile is this.
https://www.dataplaza.keirininfo.or.j...en2?SNO=011234
It is a player who has the fighting spirit though it is a diminutive body.
How did you buy this frame?

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.

Too bad Keirin alarm clock doesn't sound the race gong. Most of my racing is in my dreams, anyway.( Until spring- then I will see you at the terrordrome!)

A surpassingly large sum of money. In other words, a joke. My clock is not for sale.

How did you buy this frame?
Tomity - almost unbelievable you know the rider of this frame. I bought it from a guy who works in a bike shop in Virginia, who sometimes also sells on ebay. Apparently he knows some Keirin racers in Japan, some who also ride on Yanagisawa's frames. I am not as dimuinitive as Hideo Chiba, but the bike fits me well.

Tell him I enjoy his frame, I would be happy to buy others!

Hi!!
Perhaps, the friend of you who is working at the shop of Virginia is a friend of Takefumi
Iida of Keirin rider of Japan.

Takefumi Iida's deta
https://www.dataplaza.keirininfo.or.j...en2?SNO=012348

I heard the story that sent the United States several used Keirin freame from Takefumi Iida
of Keirin rider.
He told me the story of the American who had gotten acquainted in the race somewhere(may be USA).

It is so. Takefumi Iida has exactly gotten on YANAGISAWA.

Bejay that came to Japan last month also bought used YANAGISAWA from me and it took
it home to the United States.

bejay
https://www.bikeforums.net/members/bejay-23871.html

Please you must share him with the topic by all means.
I am telling you when is in Hideo Chiba.

Thank you for a happy story like a coincidence.

The world is narrow.
The world of Keirin is wide.

Bike is peaceful!!
say ya!!

Sincerely,
Tomity

By the way, Ceya's quadruple post was the first time I've actually laughed out loud to myself reading a forum thread.

Great thread. All I have that is Keirin certified so far is my drivetrain. Tough, beautiful stuff.
