just don't give up Monsta , your body will find its way to stop the bike . same happened to me when started ride brakeless a year ago . now my set up is 47/17 with toe cages and double straps , honestly able to stop at almost any speed and situation , say I have a coster brake . the key point for me was to learn to unweight the rear wheel with a slight hop in the beginning of the skid and make a whip to the side . for extra clue watching some fixed gear movies will help as well .

Ebisu next to Shibuya quite nice to look around at night over the weekend. Would recommend club
Milk there - pretty weird place, stylized as Moloko bar in Clockwise Orange,one of the oldest clubs in Tokyo.

Thread update . Sorry guys, The frame has been sold !

No problem at all.

I would happy to rent but my circumstances pushing me to sell as soon as possible.

I might consider postage at buyer's expense , if there will be no offers from London this weekend.

Hello guys,
passing back Fuji Track Pro frame set - seat tube c-t 61cm,
c-c 57cm, top tube 59cm , I got it from this forum a month ago, have no time to build,
no place to keep.
It is a crime to keep the thing behind the wardrobe which had been born to race,
hope it will find it's true owner soon.
The frame is in a good condition , the manor scratches on the chain-stays and tiny
ding on the down tube (which you can see from the pictures), also missing one ring from the headset but I think can be easily replaced anyway. The guy who sold me the frame said it was just been ridden on velodrome only.

Looking for 175 ONO

Collection from Highbury&Islington station.

Dibs Spinergy wheel if still available .,

Hi Tomity ,

Amazing thread ,. Long years of riding to you !!!
I'm in Japan by now and just wondering is there any kind NJS museum or something similar where I can get a touch of the history .

Some more NJS info http://3bancho.com/diary/20070604.html

Hy guys I`m currently living in Tokyo. Indeed the one of the most amazing and crazy places in the world.
And it will be honour to share some travelling tips with dedicated fixed gear community, it is a pleasure to pay my due cos I benefit so much from this forum by now.
So the first of all if you are going to the Tokyo get the proper bilingual street map, I found the best is Tokyo City Atlas bilingual guide 3rd. ed. , otherwise its really easy to get lost and waste you time just running about the tube station looking for the right exit ofcorse unless you got a personal Japanese "hostess" to escort you around.

Be advised not much Japanese speaks English - it worth to learn some everyday expressions - it may helps you a lot,although Japanese quite kind and polite people. Lucky me I've got a japanese girlfriend, it made me easier to get used to the changes.

That's true Japanese bikes pretty weird thing - tons of NJS on the street, many of them absolutely unlocked - looks like nobody stealing the bikes in this country - seems people here still trust to each other ....

Plenty of exclusive parts, but don't' expect any bargains everything in the shops quite overpriced.Good point to check Yahoo auction ( so called japanese ebay ) for pretty NJS stuff but the bad point you cant' buy anything there unless you got an account with them.

Last week went to see Keirin race in Seibuen, guess it's not the best place to see Keirin but it was near the place where I stay.
Can't say I was disappointing but it was completely different from my expectations. Must admit Keirin is totally gambling place - main crowd( if you can call it a crowd - most of the seats were empty ) is a 50+ retired gentleman betting money, blaming racers for the broken hopes. If you desperate to see Kairin , better ask Tomity on this forum for the best place to go, he is definitely more competent in this question.

If anybody got questions for some more tips, will be glad to help with info.
