Most Disappointing Bike Brands. Most Exciting Bike Brands. Why love old bikes when new bikes do it better? Thursday, November 27, 2014. A visit to Kawaguchi city. If you can call it a city because it pretty much seamlessly. Connects to the rest of Tokyo. But it is home to one very special place that I know of. This is the Toei Bike Factory.

Bikes, etc: morning ride
http://feelofsteel.blogspot.com/2015/04/morning-ride.html
Most Disappointing Bike Brands. Most Exciting Bike Brands. Why love old bikes when new bikes do it better? Wednesday, April 1, 2015. Rode this morning from my place. Amid all the bibshort monkeys on their crabon machines. To C'wood then back along. My favourite PSAs in Melbourne are. On the bins themselves. All featuring the crappest. Grumpy animals yelling at you. Coming up from Darebin Creek ravine. A magic time of morning. This was my steed. Much more a racing machine now. Without his rear packrack.

Bikes, etc: an interesting 'new' bike shop
http://feelofsteel.blogspot.com/2015/03/an-interesting-new-bike-shop.html
Most Disappointing Bike Brands. Most Exciting Bike Brands. Why love old bikes when new bikes do it better? Thursday, March 26, 2015. An interesting 'new' bike shop. Actually dunno how old it is but Andy is really friendly and was surprised that I knew what a Legnano was. Here is one of his Legnanos. It's so original that he wants to use shit, old cables. Even though they stretch and that's the last thing you want in a cable. But I like his taste. otherwise they are agents for Lynskey. As the kids say.
