Tomity

great craftsmanship!

here's my Fuji with alternate bars:




the normal setup (taken this morning on the bridge):

i think this is the final form for this bike. it has gone through quite a few different looks but now that it has the chrome fork and 700c wheelset i think its done. next upgrade custom frame. here it is before parts upgrades and powdercoat and then after powdercoat, and last with the new fork and 700c wheelset

tomitysan, carbon fiber chainringwa ikura desuka? doko ni kaimasuka?

gomenasai, watashi no nihongo ga bestu ni yoku ja arimasen.

arigatoo gozaimasu!

another random sighting...Debern spotted on the way to work this morning

Konnichiwa vomitron san
This is my handmade(one-off) chainrings
I made this carbon fiber chainring
I ordered carbon fiber plate(thickness:0.4mm) to factory
After I had roundly cut carbon ficer plate, chainring(Shimano D/A 46T) was bonded with epoxy resin.
It was about 300 dollars for this output cost.
Sorry,not for sale
I made some carbon fiber goods

No one cares that you can speak japanese, stop showing off.

Seconded

I may not care if Vomi can speak Japanese, but if doing so encourages Tomity to post pictures like that, then I truly encourage it. I do not think people should let their jealousy interfere with their learning.

i concur....who gives a crap if they show off a bit....tomity deserves a bit of showing off

OH MY GOSH!!!



First Amendment, freedom haters.

hey dave!

how have you been?

He's my roommate. I'm pretty sure he was just antagonizing me.

Alas, just as much as Tomity-san would like to communicate in english with native speakers (as he, like many japanese nationals, probably doesn't always get the chance to), I would like to ask him about his creations in his native language, because I don't exactly get to speak to japanese people all that often. It's like ordering in spanish at the taco truck.

If you're impressed by my horrible japanese, you probably need to raise your standards a little higher. I didn't even bother converting it into kana!

Tomity-san,
anata no sooshutsu wa zenzen bikei desu yo!

That's one seriously hot bike.

I'm such a sucker for black+celeste. Good job on that thing.

Is that a brooks saddle? What model? Do you like it a lot/is it worth the trouble? I'm considering building another track bike with a brooks on there.

Thanks, I'm really happy with it.

It's a B17 narrow that I took a dremel tool to. The Fixer had a step-by-step description in a thread somewhere around here. I'm probably abusing this one, I think it needs some more weatherproofing and cleaned underneath, but I can't get it off of the seatpost right now... Which sucks, because the angle is wrong :|

I'd suck to have to true your cranks and chainring every so often...

That's hot.

And I like DeBernardi frames a lot, but if I ever got one, I'd powdercoat it immediately.

I just swapped out my bullhorns for these stem and drops. (Similar tape scheme.)

Old: FGG #1,458

New:

Shut up you band wagon *****. Can't stand it if other people talk and you don't understand? Then shut the **** up. You and lead *****.

I command winter to end... So I can ride my recently updated co-motion track bike more often

New for 2005 is the 52 tooth Dura-Ace chainring, 19 tooth euro-asia cog and aerowing tt bars.



still waiting on some chrome mks toe clips. more pix here

good god! that's sexy.

I would likewise command winter to end, but my bike is not so hot and obviously still bundled up against the elements, so I think winter would just laugh at me. Maybe a little pity too, but mostly just contempt.

you bike is hot enough to melt the snow!
