Bicycles Takenaka, Kyoto


A visit to the wonderful Bicycles Takenaka in Kyoto last weekend...



The bright, well stocked shop sells a range of road, triathlon, cyclocross and city bikes with brands including Pinarello, Raleigh, Araya, Panasonic and Calamita...









There's a good range of accessories and parts...


At at the rear of the store is a beautiful display of some very vintage bikes including a gorgeous "1950's" Makino track bike...




A "1970's" Gios Torino...


And a stunning "1960's" Makino road bike...




A very friendly and welcoming store building some really beautiful bikes. Well worth checking out if you are in Kyoto. Keep up with the shop by following the Bicycles Takenaka Facebook page.
