Master Pista Osaka

We took a trip out to Umeda, Osaka yesterday evening to visit the recently opened store Master Pista...

As the name suggests the store specialize in Piste and fixed bikes but also have some really interesting builds on display inside, such as this vintage BSA custom creation...


The wall space in the small but cosy store is taken up with other impressive custom builds, from the classic looking...


...To the more up to date and colourful...


 ...And there are some nice bits of bicycle related kit on display like this seriously bling Aerospoke in one of the coolest wheel truing stands we have seen...


And of course there are off the peg options like this RockBikes Melancholy...


Outside the store there are even more cool custom creations....



A really nice new store. Owner Junichi-san was very welcoming, friendly and enthusiastic about his stock. It will be interesting to follow the store's progress and their funky creations via their blog or their Twitter page. If you are in the area we recommend dropping in to check out this cool new shop. Arigato and good luck to Junichi-san!
