Japanese Old School Find - Part 1 of 4!
« on: January 20, 2016, 12:02 PM »
Ever since I moved to Japan (over 6 years ago now), I've been dreaming of finding a bike shop full of old school exotica, gathering dust in the back of the shop. Ideally there'd be a Laserlite or HLT but tbh, anything would do. This means that whenever I see an old bike shop, and I'm talking here about the independent, one-man bands, I always stop for a browse and sometimes strike up a conversation with the owner, who is usually an older guy who is somewhat bemused to find a foreigner in his shop talking about old school BMX in broken Japanese!

So with all this in mind, the other day I stumbled upon an old shop and then, as I got closer, spotted these old school stickers on the window:-





My heart started racing with thoughts of what I might find inside, so I slid open the old, wooden door and stepped in. Part 2 to follow once I've uploaded some more photos!! :daumenhoch:

Glad to see a bit of suspense in the house of Rad!! :D

Sadly there were no Kuwis, parts, stickers, massages or any other services available BUT the owner did rummage around in the storeroom for a few minutes before showing me his collection of something that I couldn't buy but which was nonetheless a real find! Am now on the way to the airport so part 2 will have to wait until next week! :daumenhoch:
