This thread in following on from my Keirin pictorial thread http://www.londonfgss.com/thread17491.html
These are photos of what I spotted over a couple of weeks in Tokyo.
I imagined there would be loads of NJS frames around but there were not that many. Here is a nice Samson. No brakes, no straps.
Weirdly, every bike I snapped was a non drive side view if it was parked. Is this a part of Japanese etiquette when parking you bike? Here is an SE Lager lightly locked up in a mall.
Ahhh! Aerospoke and Supreme sticker. Parked outside Tokyo Midtown. You can see the quality of the road surface so it is not too difficult to keep things clean.
White Rando, spok, stickers, etc. Unusual that the saddle is removed.
What to make of this? Not sure of the frame but there is an affinity to Apple macs.
OTP Bianchi. Paint matching frame pad and one of those dainty D locks.
An so to the courier bikes. They have number plates and leave them miles away with out locking up.
Another courier bike, not that interesting but good to see.
This is inside Carnival, lots of high priced Euro and Russian frames. No NJS frames for sale, just a few reserved ones.
Although if you like blue anodization you are in the right place.
Tokyu Hands is a creative hobby store that offers a plethora of Pistou Parts.
Tokyu Hands is also the place to get the little model bikes you may have seen.
Le Coq Sportif and their take on the whole cycle fashion thing. Nice frame, wide bars!
The crew outside W-Base. He's parked the wrong way round.
oh that's better.
and finally if those skinny locks were freaking you out then here is the antidote. £1700 and it is about 2 meters long. That shackle on the end is the thickness of a VHS cassette. It was in a motorcycle shop.
