Two Pedal, Osaka

Two Pedal, Osaka.
While out in Osaka last Saturday we dropped into the simply brilliant Two Pedal store. A seriously cool shop specialising in some simply gorgeous road and cyclocross bikes from brands including Cinelli, Rockbikes, Calamita, Colnago, Tommasini and many others. Staff member Taka-san speaks fluent English and was kind enough to let us take photographs and tell us all about the shop...

There are also some seriously desirable frames hanging up...

The middle frame is a Nagasawa x Charibu and it is beautiful!

Tommasini frames.
The real big breathtaker for us was this stunning Charibu. It belongs to the shop owner Mr Masuhara. He not only rides this beauty he actually builds the Charibu bikes. He is taught framebuilding by the master himself, Nagasawa.

Mr Masuhara was kind enough to pose for a photo with us, it's not every day that you meet a student of Nagasawa-san...

An absolutely brilliant shop. English speaking staff, beautiful bikes, cool clothing, great accessories and an owner who builds some the most gorgeous frames we've ever seen. A must visit for any cyclist. Follow Two Pedal via their Twitter page, like them on their Facebook and keep updated with their work via the shop blog. A very big thank you to Taka-san and Mr Masaharu.
