Last Monday we took a ride out to Ikaruga in Nara prefecture, famous for temples including the UNESCO World Heritage site of Horyu-ji. We were there for another reason, namely the wonderful road bike specialist shop Euro Works...
The store is crammed full of bikes, frames and parts...
...Including quite a few mouth watering Colnago bikes...
...And frames...
...And some cool memorabilia, like this Yukiya Arashiro signed poster...
Not all about the Italians though, they also have a wide range of other high end roadie names like BMC, Look and this rather nice Museeuw from Belgium...
Of course there are local, Japanese bikes, this Boma frame for instance...
And tucked away at the back of the store was this beautiful, rare, Nara made Iribe road bike...
Always good to see a bike store with a busy workshop area too...
A seriously nice, high-end roadie store, kind of tucked in the middle of nowhere but definitely worth seeking out if you find yourself at any of the nearby temples.
