Cherry Blossom
season came and left within a matter of a week. This year it seemed some of the trees were a little too early or too late due to the inconsistent temperatures and random high winds and rainy days. Nevertheless, it was definitely another beautiful sight to see. Here’s a few shots I snapped right before [...]
Snapshot: Last Day with the Mash
Today was a sad day, as my Cinelli Mash build came to an end. It was my first “real” track frame that I built up from scratch and it’s been around Oahu twice, served me well on century ride, and was always my go to frame to just mash out and not have to care [...]
Blood in the Snow (17 images)
It was dumping snow in Kanagawa this morning, definitely a first for me since arriving here over a year ago. I decided to snap some shots of the Red Baron out in the fresh powder. Definitely loving this weather!
Stratos Pista (11 images)
Snowed last night, enough to stick on the ground. We haven’t gotten much snow here this year so tonight was definitely a treat. Decided to take the pista out for a few shots in the heavy snow. White on white is just looks so clean.
Ralph’s NJS Samson (13 images)
On New Years Eve, I was able to shoot Ralph’s newly finished NJS project. Definitely a different build from his previous NJS Bomber Pro; all freshly polished Suntour components really set the frame off. I’ve grown to love how well these hand-built frames ride and look. Each frame is handcrafted and tailored to fit each [...]
For The City (16 images)
During my vacation in Hawaii, I was able to hang out with my good friend Casey. I’ve been dying to see his bike ever since he built it up. Being away for 10-months in Japan doesn’t give you very many opportunities like this to snap shots overlooking downtown Honolulu. Such an amazing view.
Vintage Porsche (6 images)
While hanging out at a friend’s house, Stone rolled up in his new ’60s Porsche project. He recently tuned up the motor and gave the car a fresh new coat of paint, all out of his own garage. He’s completed many other builds including a classic VW bug; I’m looking forward to see what he [...]
Snapshot: Hawaii
Back in Hawaii for a couple weeks. I must say that I miss this awesome weather compared to the freezing temperatures in Japan right now. More to come, for now I’m going to take it all in. Aloha.
Offroading (13 images)
I woke up at 4AM yesterday in hopes of going to another awesome Sekidobashi (Bicycle Swap Meet) that’s held only twice a year. When I arrived in Fuchu, there was only disappointment and a ton of rain. By tradition if it rains out on the Saturday the swap meet is held, the meet is postponed [...]
Enoshima (16 images)
Did a short ride around the coast of Kamakura and Enoshima this weekend to change things up from my usual routes. Enoshima Island is a popular attraction with many shrines and gorgeous views of the coast. On a clear day, the island has a great view of Mt. Fuji; however, it was too foggy on [...]
