And here is a shot of the Super Bulls, after copping a coating of chrome at the east osaka factory… beautiful!

Metallico Super Bulls / Super Drops…. here now!

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 09:50:14 +0000

I have been waiting years for these…ha ha…the drop/bull horn version of the Metallico bar, in chrome finish! They have a very thick resilient coating of chrome, to ensure

they do not scratch or ding easily…. Kenchan from Metallico dropped these off a week ago, and we have already fitted 4 sets of them for customers in Osaka…. time for you

guys overseas to get your chance. I have about 3 of each left in stock, and should be able to get a few more before the initial lot of 50 is all gone (ps that is 50 for the whole world!)…

Check them out…

I am now catching up on a lot of emails and everything is back in order.

I have just been emailing a few of you who have missed collection of their packages, and unfortunately have had those packages sent back to Japan.

We have been unable to contact a few of you, or have not received replies. Since email has not been successful I thought I would try a blog post to get your attention. First names only used to allow privacy… William, Michael, Brent, Krista, Shervin. Please contact me regarding your awaiting packages! I want to make sure you get them!

back on Monday in the shop to ship out packages, and answer emails. Everything has shipped out except for Thursday orders, and also 3 customers

orders, who have been emailed already. Thanks for the patience, everyone!

Panasonic track funny bike frame

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:23:05 +0000

A beautiful and big, Panasonic funny bike frame, from the 90s… this one is courtesy of the MEIJI UNIVERSITY in Tokyo, Japan. This is the team that the framebuilder

Nagasawa San raced for, a long time back! Like many Japanese funny bikes, this one takes a rare 24 inch front wheel, 2 inches smaller in diameter than a 650c wheel.

I have a few of these laying around too, so will include one with the frame. It will be available here in a day or two from now, along with a 57cm 3Rensho, with no dents and

brake holes front and rear, cable guides on the top tube, and a restored Vivalo in the Ocean livery.

Keirin seat pin

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:19:13 +0000

Something odd I found in the shop a few weeks ago…. a KEIRIN stamped seat pin! Very nice, although I no longer have it…

a customer needed one, and I was out of stock….so this one had to go. :)
