If your looking for a Keirin frame in Tokyo, then this should be number 1 on your list. No new skool fancy hipster stuff. Just a shop for ex Keirin gear. All the brands can be found here. Nagasawa, Level, Samson, Bridgestone etc. All frames were 56 and under. Frames are always coming and going, pure luck as to which ones you will find there on the day. Good place to go on a weekday night. a lot of fixedgear bike guys meetup, drink in front of the store and stuff. Don't forget to take your shoes off upstairs, Japan style. Go there!!
JAN Google maps

TEL 03-3604-1019

A bit out of town. Again frame sizes all seem to around 55 or under. There wasn't much in the way of frames on my last visit. Pure luck as to what he will have. The JAN crew always come to the shop near close hours. so you might want to meet up with them if you're looking for someone to ride with. The JAN crew really kicks it on their bikes. especially "hakushaku", check his wheelies out while you're in tokyo.

If your looking for NJS frames, this is not the shop for you. They are above WBASE in Shibuya. They stock mostly high end European frames, as Keirin bikes are a common site in Tokyo. Kinda opposite from the U.K & U.S were Keirin bikes are pretty much all the rave. Carnival also offers their limited edition blue Nitto Bar and Stem as well as special colorway Carnival x Grand Compe Hubs and Rims in 3 special Carnival colorways. They also have some Carnival branded T-shirts etc.

Really nice guys. Again a bit out of town, and pure chance as to what frames they will have. They are a small shop, but did have a few 3 Rensho's hanging of the walls when I last visited. always has interesting bike parts. They are also the main distributor of reload bags in japan.
