Considering that Japan is over 70% mountains it was about time we featured something for the 26ers out there (and the 29ers and the
27.5ers too!) We took a trip out to Toyonaka, Osaka yesterday to check out the MTB store
RingoRoad...
The place is packed full of bikes, frames and parts with one side of shop given over to a large, busy workshop and a BMX and road bike display...
 |
| The workshop side of the store... |
While the other side of the shop is where the serious MTB kit is housed...
 |
| ...And the MTB side |
Everywhere you look there are some pretty serious frames just waiting to be built up....
 |
| SBC, Niner, etc etc etc... |
Of course these frames will need forks and wheels....
 |
Just a few of the forks on display in store...
|
And then there are the parts, so many lovely parts...
 |
| Anyone need a chain device?... |
 |
| ...Or some risers?... |
 |
| ...And a stem to go with them?... |
 |
| How about a chainring?.... |
 |
| Don't forget the pedals! |
There are so many full bouncers on display in the shop that is was hard to get a decent photo of some of them, here's a few that we could manage to get in frame...
A really decent specialist shop, the staff were very friendly and welcoming, the workshop was busy (always a good sign) and the stock is amazing. If you like getting muddy and you are in the Osaka area head for
RingoRoad.
