Bikes @ Suzuka Enduro


It would be an understatement to say there were a lot of bikes at Suzuka. Most of them were high end carbon racing machines. We tried to shoot the ones that had a bit of character...







Details...


Winner's Choice
Toyo stem.
We're always partial to a vintage MTB...




Bridgestone
Stumpy
Among all the high end carbon we were trying to seek out the Japanese built bikes, this is, after all, a blog about Japanese cycling right? We found a few gems...

Yosiryuu Works
Classic Bridgestone
Vigore Roadie.
Vigore MTB 
Doobat's
Panasonic
Panasonic
Anchor
Back out in the market area it was pretty much all carbon speed machines...








We still have a stack more pictures from Suzuka. We'll sort through and probably post them here over the quiet new year holiday period.

TiG Titanium

It started with a couple of photos of a bike we snapped at Suzuka....


This rather funky "Titania" road bike...


Then, whilst trying to find out some more info on the bike, we found this video...


Leading us to discover that TiG Titanium is an Osaka based company working with titanium to make things like wheelchairs and, of course, bicycles. This cyclocross bike is just beautiful...


There are many more bikes in their collection, from mini-velos to trials frames. Another company on the list of must visit!
