After I got Sella Italia Turbo Gel, I was looking for cheap Turbo in ebay. And purchased some cheaper than average price in Yahoo! Auction Japan.
Kryptonite U-Lock is the most secure and reliable bicycle lock in the world.
Evolution Mini was made especially for urban bicycle messenger. Its steel shackle regists volt cutters and leverage attacks.
KryptoFlex reinforces U-Lock protection, and this wire can prevent stealing saddle.
I replaced my saddle "Selle San Marco Rolls" with vintage "Selle Italia Turbo GEL" which was sold in 80's and early 90's.
It's shape looks more sporty and feels more fit than Rolls. I want to get another mint condition Turbo or Bio Turbo.
BlueLug is a bicycle parts shop which deals with fixed gear bike in Tokyo.
New BlueLug's Rokkakush T-shirt arrived.
Rokkakush is BlueLug's original logo that is a designed hexagonal wrench (imitated Nike's swosh logo). Rokkaku means hexagon in Japanese.
I went to PEDALMAFIA祭, a party of bicylce movie presented by PEDALMAFIA. In this matsuri (祭 / party), a lot of cool movie was played in 4 hours.
"Fumikiri" was the number one movie in this party. This movie is directed by Daisuke Hayakawa and Toshihiko Nakano. Featured japanese top fixed bike rider, Kai, Kyoichi Ozaki, and MKM of JAN crew.
I could say hello to Kai / Hakusyaku offline for the first time. Thanks, it was nice to talk to you, though you will forget me as you said :D
FAST FRIDAY is the documentary movie of seattle local fixed gear event started by Dustin Klein of Cadence clothing (also known as a rider of MASH). It was filmed in early 2007 and shown in Bicycle Film Festival 2007.
This DVD released after 1 year since its first show, so there is nothing new in riding and tricks though, you can feel the scene of street fixed gear culture in this movie.
"MULTITUDE" is a photo book of street bicycle movement, directed by GO from PEDALMAFIA. It contains lots of photo shots of messenger, fixed rider, and cyclists in full color pages.
I got NITTO's riser handle bar "NITTO B259AA" and replaced B201.
More rised up, back sweeped, and thickened grip.
This DVD is a film of new york alleycat race "MONSTER TRACK 8". Includes "Track Kaiju" featured Japanese messengers SINO and HAL, "Monster Track Race and Interview". SINO won 5th place in this race. (later, he got 1st prize in CMWC 2008)
This film has taste of art and underground feelings more than films like PEDAL. And also has quality music of DJ OBAH.
Chapter One is a how to movie of fixed gear bike produced by T-19.
Basically, I do not like this kind of howto and school of street culture because these things sometimes ruin the culture itself. You need learn it on the street by yourself.
Chapter One is a good film as a promotion movie of fixed bike, but it should be filmed without talk...
