While out in Osaka last Saturday we dropped into the simply brilliant
Two Pedal store. A seriously cool shop specialising in some simply gorgeous road and cyclocross bikes from brands including
Cinelli,
Rockbikes,
Calamita,
Colnago,
Tommasini and many others. Staff member Taka-san speaks fluent English and was kind enough to let us take photographs and tell us all about the shop...
There are also some seriously desirable frames hanging up...
The real big breathtaker for us was this stunning
Charibu. It belongs to the shop owner Mr Masuhara. He not only rides this beauty he actually builds the
Charibu bikes. He is taught framebuilding by the master himself, Nagasawa.
Mr Masuhara was kind enough to pose for a photo with us, it's not every day that you meet a student of Nagasawa-san...
The shop is full of some great accessories and parts too...
Lovely hand built wheels...
There is a very well stocked
clothing ,
shoes and
luggage section too...
Even some fan art from customers...
Elsewhere there are some fun cycling related items including stickers and patches...

| Stickers/patches. |
Fridge magnets...
 |
| Magnets. |
And every cyclist should be hanging their laundry up with these...

| Pegs. |
An absolutely brilliant shop. English speaking staff, beautiful bikes, cool clothing, great accessories and an owner who builds some the most gorgeous frames we've ever seen. A must visit for any cyclist. Follow Two Pedal via their
Twitter page, like them on
their Facebook and keep updated with their work
via the shop blog. A very big thank you to Taka-san and Mr Masaharu.
