Tomoda Cycle, Osaka


A trip to Tennoji last Saturday to visit Tomoda Cycle. A huge store with a long history stocking a wide range of road bikes and parts...



...From well known brands such as Anchor...


...And Raleigh UK...



To classics like this F.Moser...


And this custom painted Kyoto built Momoyama frame...



They also hold a good selection of second hand parts...


All around the store are cabinets filled with parts, accessories and some fun cycling memorabilia...






But the real draw at Tomoda is their cabinets full of rare parts, we don't want to use the word vintage as it tends to be overused these days, this stuff here is antique, with some of it worthy of a museum collection...











A great and friendly shop with some truly unique stock. Simply a must for any roadie in town.
