Ian's Bomber Pro Trackbike

Local Osaka legend Ian has a fleet of beautiful bikes. He recently had a stunning Nagasawa road bike built up at Giracha. On last Sunday's morning ride he was riding his rather cool Bomber Pro track bike and we grabbed a few shots...


Perfect cockpit for city cruising with risers and the essential bell...


Kashimax saddle of course...


Here's the man himself in action, I think he's trying to say that this is just one of his bikes...

Giracha Sunday Ride

Last Sunday we joined up with the Giracha crew for what was billed as a "Gentlemen and Ladies" Sunday morning ride. We donned our Sunday best and headed out into the beautiful early summer sunshine...


Everyone had made an effort to look smart, Sayaca as always looking effortlessly classy...


Fixed In Nara stylish as fuck and channeling his inner Robert Redford...


Tetsuya-san looking seriously sharp on his beautiful vintage Colnago...


Tsutsumi-san leading the way through the quiet Sunday morning Osaka streets...


Rene rolling on his stunning Nagasawa commuter...


We are traffic...


Loshin and Tsutsumi on point duty...


A Gentlemen and Ladies ride means obeying the laws and waiting patiently at every stop light...


But it's Japan so there will always be a random security guard to tell you off...


Early morning Nakanoshima park is just gorgeous...



Osaka's coolest couple...


Fixed in Nara is a bad influence on local legend Ian...


Just a perfect day...


The new cycling version of Goodfellas looks interesting....


Shooting me shooting you shooting me...


A really fun way to spend a morning. Huge thanks to Tsutsumi, Sayaca, Rene, Loshin, Romi, Ian, Tetsuya and, of course, Fixed in Nara.
