As Jan Heine's blog post from last year's show noted, this year as well there were quite a few interesting bikes in the parking lot at the Japan handmade bicycle show. Not just my Renovo!

This proud owner told me he hand-sewed the leather trim on his basket.
And he pointed out the bike in the next photo to me. |
 |
| Venus -- apparently a very rare bike today, probably from the 1960s, for Keirin racing use. |
 |
| Rear brake for Keirin racing! Pull the lever - kind of like stopping a sled. |
 |
| A pair of Amanda road bikes. Maybe his and hers ...? |
 |
| A pair of Bromptons -- maybe his and hers? |
 |
| One of several Bike Fridays I saw - Made in Oregon. |
 |
Vogue/Orient Industries. A builder in Kamakura?
Very bright, safety colors. Alfine internal hub. Distinctive. |
 |
| Ravanello - made in Japan. |
 |
| More Cherubim firehouse red! |
 |
| Francesco Moser frame -- do not see many of these classics in Japan. |
