Let me start by introducing myself. I was born in Osaka, and I’m now in my third year of riding track bikes. At first, it was just about messing around with friends on bikes, Osaka has such a dense fixed-gear culture that it was hard not to get swept up in it…

This is it! One year later, it's finally a wrap of my coverage of the Shuhari collection. And because I'm keeping the best for last, this is by far the coolest bike I rode while I was there…

Feeling extra in sync with your bestie recently and wondering how it would feel to blast on a gorgeous track bike but… together. Don’t worry, the Shuhari collection has what you need…

Another bike from Shuhari and another piece of history I had the pleasure to try. The 3rensho Domifon is a stayer bike, and if you are unfamiliar with this type of machine, allow me to explain…

A few months back, I was featuring Tomas' Peloton and its many quirks, as well as how he decided to build the whole bike around the front suspension fork. Today, I’d like to showcase another one of his incredibly unusual builds - His Watanabe NJS…

The Look 396 is truly track bike dream material. It looks completely unique, is rare but still somehow obtainable, and each one comes with its own history and little perks...

How long do you think you can keep one bike? Two years? Five? Over a decade? How would you maintain it, and what would the bike become after thousands of kilometers ridden...

Your first reaction might be, “A suspension fork on an NJS fixed gear... WTF is happening here?” Trust me, I thought the exact same thing at first, but…

Another quick bike-check back from CMWC 2023 where I spotted this Makino Ultra Record. If you're not aware, Makino, being the apprentice of 3rensho, already has quite a status…

We are back with more bikes from Shuhary, and the man himself, Letuce-San. Today, we're examining not one but two 3Rensho, both owned and ridden by David Grylls…

The Mash SSCX is a very good frame! Featuring track dropouts, 120mm spacing, wide tire clearance, and cantilever brake mounts. Ahead of its time, this frame had only one drawback…

When Mash first released the “Mash Reyes,” I wasn't fully on board with both of the paint options being so monochrome. The orange accents were great, but I was yearning for something with a bit more energy…

Last month, I was finally introducing you to Shuhari Bike Works. So it’s now time to start the long sequence of all the bike checks I did over there, and what better bike to start with than the one some people call “the Japanese Laser”…

Alright, let's get started! A huge light leak... Check. At the worst possible place...Akso check… Michelle, I'm so sorry, film can sometimes be finicky... Weird visual artifacts aside…

Do you like dramatic pictures? Over-saturated contrasts and underexposed scenes? Well, you’re in luck!When I dropped the film I shot at the first Fumikiri bike show…

What’s your favorite Ctrack color? Glacier Blue? Icelandic green? What about “Right-in-your-face Pink”?Last year I stumbled upon the brightest Ctrack of them all…

Starting to write this article is honestly a bit overwhelming. Part of it could be because I shot a whole twelve rolls of film in barely three days, creating more content than I ever did in one single short trip…

Time for another bike-check of someone you might have already seen on SSS. Where? Right here! Taiga is a graduate of the Tokyo Frame Building School and worked for Cherubim…

When people with excellent taste decide to mix bike and car culture to create a bike brand based on their aesthetics and convictions, I expect nothing but great outcomes.

The Last Japanese CMWC was all the way back in 2009. And it’s only fifteen long years later that the Cycling Messenger World Championship came back to Japan along with …
