Bike porn

(you can have it on a take-away cup, 20p off)

...A quite important and serious one, within Japanese culture/society, since it's the only legal way of betting..

umm, i thought there were also few other sports, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_in_Japan?

The thing that started me off was that atrocious ugly franken29er Theory posted.
It was rank.

It was rank to other, but what this about trying to get everyone to post your kind of bike?

ok Scorch..

umm, i thought there were also few other sports, no?

I thought that there was betting on Ekiden too??
I do love that sports like running and cycling seem to be so popular over there in Japan. One of my friends just ran the Fukuoka marathon. It was televised, like the majority of their running events.

they should do keirin racing at walthamstow bags. all the wide boys cheering on the bike boys. "camm onhn you caaant!"

What the hell has happened to this place?

^ +1 Really cannot be bothered with all this bitching.

Im mildly amused.

shut it cuntballs

:D

Now you will never know if I did spit on the top cap you wanted or no.

Cool. So you're just not into the whole thing. Which is fine.
But it is definitely not Takeshi's Castle on wheels. It's a Sporting event as you've mentioned.

NJS is they're bureau of control over every single component used on track racing. That's it.
Westerners made it what it is. A fucken circus.
Japanese are Japanese, Their Keirin is merely a reflection of the whole lot.
IMHO that's what makes it great.

I went to Keirin once, would have been about 2002.

It cost 50p to get in, including a bus from the train station. The bus was full of middle aged men in cheap suits who stank of whisky, despite it being midday. The stadium stank of fags even outdoors and everyone looked sad and depressed. The races are good, but over in a few seconds and there is a long wait before the next one so everyone can go and bet. It is definitely not the only place you can bet in Japan (horse racing?).

It is about as depressing as passing a hospital and seeing a man outside in a wheelchair attached to a drip swigging on a can of beer and smoking a Lambert and Butler.

A thousand hipsters' dreams: shattered.

And so it would be. It exists because of the gambling, just as horse racing does in this country. Nothing glamorous about going horse racing, especially at minor races at say Salisbury!

Head tube too long, stem too high. Fred sled

Does anyone know what bars that Moots has?

look like FSA compact drops or similar

interesting fork. crown looks like its on backwards

I love that shape.
AlphaQ do the exact same with CX forks.
Being a full carbon fork, it makes sense, the "shoulders" will provide the rake,
clearance and stiffness, all in one.
