Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

Tokyo Bicycle Shops

I'm in Tokyo for another week and I've been trying to find a nice frame. I'm a big white guy so i've been looking for a 57-60 frame, which oddly enough... are hard to come by.

If anyone has any leads on a shop with one (dent free would be preferred), I'd owe ya some beer/food/bike parts.

~cheers

Good luck finding one at all in that size.

no joke, i've hit pretty much all the shops mentioned in the "track bikes in tokyo" thread (blue lug, punch, sexon, ect.. going to cycle recycle later today) and seen loads of 55-56 frames. but being a giant in a country of height challenged folk makes it difficult.

It must be frustrating to be in Japan and NOT find a bike. I have a 58cm 3Rensho I bought here so they CAN be found. I know that Makino has a NOS, Columbus tube 58cm track frame but it IS new (i.e., expensive).

Best bet is to get one from Panasonic.
Its NJS, they have your size, you can choose the color, the sticker color, and even have your name on it.
85,000 after taxes.
Y's in Ikebukero will hook you up with one and they have the Panasonic fitting deal so youll get the exact fit for your body.
Some infoz https://www.panabyc.co.jp/products/pos/fp29.html
The go up to 63cm https://www.panabyc.co.jp/products/pos/dim/FP29_dim.html
