Panasonic track funny bike frame
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 [...]
Keirin seat pin
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. :)
Shimano Dura Ace Zen 55T monster WC chainrings !
I just received another 11 Dura Ace Olympic/WC chainrings, which are now available HERE. Included in the latest delivery, were a couple of dinner plate 55 tooth chainrings! Great for the track, matched to a 16 or 17T cog, or on the street with a 18 or 19 cog on the back!
Nagasawa X Kashimax saddles are here now!
These beautiful saddles have been in store for a couple of weeks, but I have still not got them on tracksupermarket.com sorry! Please email me if you want to reserve one. The shells actually started life as Five Gold 4P NJS saddles, and have been hand cut down to a new shape, by the Kashimax [...]

Carnival x Concor saddle at Track Supermarket

Nagasawa design fork crown/lugs!
The classic love heart fork crown designed by Nagasawa… soon this will be available for purchase at tracksupermarket.com by framebuilders around the world. I have been trying hard to get some good lost wax lugs to those of you who have emailed me over the last few years. Up until now I have not been [...]
Something you may have never seen…..!
I have been hunting/buying/selling and riding japanese keirin frames pretty religiously for several years now, taking advantage of the wealth of great builders in my adopted country! But to be honest, there are still many things that I have never touched or even seen in person. A customer came in to my Osaka shop yesterday [...]
