He lives in Saitama Prefecture.
His profile is this.

It is a player who has the fighting spirit though it is a diminutive body.
How did you buy this frame?

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

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.

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

Also, she is very attractive so I definitely have a Keiran fixation.

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.
