Tokyo Fixed / Kinoko Cycles

Was in there today for a browse. Love the new shop!

misread as 'was in there today like a bowse' lol

Are the 2013 tokyo fixed frames available yet?

Saw this on display today. Lovely. But why is it drilled for a rear brake. Sense it make no goddam.

Sense it make no goddam.

Some people don't want to ride it fixed? Or fixed training bike with front and back brake?
Nothing wrong with it.

^^ Not digging the new graphic on that tbh... Looks nice apart from that

Fixed + 2 hand operated brakes are fucking underrated.

I'm definitely buying one of the new Darts when they're available.

Forgot to mention the show bike had no drilling for a front brake.

The notice said the logo graphic designer had worked for two other bike companies.

If you like the type it's very similar to this free font called "intro"

Kinda a given that it have a track fork rather, since it is build up as a track bike.

Is that the new Dart then? Looks nice.

The type just looks too big, it's like it's trying to be a MOOTS but not hitting it.

Anyway I'll take my typeface gripes elsewhere the rest of it as I said looks mint.

It was pretty striking, the colour is cool and the geo looks fierce.

2013 is all about beefy tubing

If in 2007 I had a weird dream about browsing Sugino 75 cranksets that cost £265, displayed in glass cases in an immense basement on Golden Square whilst inoffensive muzak played in the background and uniformed polite staff said "Hi there" - it would have freaked me out a little but I would have forgotten about it. Now however this is some weird kind of reality.

Condor will always win the "look at the genuinely useful bike stuff you need and we have here in stock on a shelf for you to fondle" war.

I dunno, the rack of Nitto bars at Orinoko was pretty fondletastic.

^^this. Apart from their woeful bar/stem options... I demand more fondling!

Realised the dart doesn't even have bottle cage bosses. Pointless.

Imaging my surprise when I discovered my Dream Machine doesn't come with them either 4 weeks prior to departure.

I can picture that, yes.

^ :)

I very much like that new dart. The shop is lovely. Well done all involved.

But with no cable guides?

Sounds like what you guys actually want is a Condor Pista*.
