We dropped into Rafu Cycling in Nara on Monday. Located where the old Guell store used to be, Rafu sell a selection of restored vintage road bikes sourced in Japan and overseas...
Inside the bright shop there are, as you would expect, bikes, frames, parts, bags and clothing...
A very nice De Rosa roadie hangs in the window...
With a gorgeous Motobecane up on the wall...
More lovely vintage bikes lined up on the floor...
Classic frames hanging from the ceiling...
Along with the obligatory selection of vintage caps...
A good range of luggage from Chrome...
Some very nice vintage parts on the shelves...
You have to keep your lube in the fridge during the Japanese summer...
A friendly, cool shop stocking some really interesting bikes and parts. Well worth seeking out when you find yourself in Japan.
