Meanwhile in Munich...

Our very good friend Adam Bell sent some photos of a gorgeous Miyata he has recently restored...

And that's not the only thing that Adam has been working on. As a follow up to his superb Bicycle Dictionary Adam has come up with this stunning poster...

A beautiful piece of work, hand drawn by Adam with each part listed in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Japanese. The poster will soon be available from Sim Works in Japan. For international stockists it is available direct from Umwerk in Munich. In Europe it will be stocked at Keirin Berlin, Fixiestube, Suicycle and Schicke Mutze. In North America it's available at Speed and Sprocket, Hoopdriver and C&L Cycle.  It really is a gorgeous and very useful poster, buy one now and make yourself very happy!

Vintage Pinarello Restoration

Over in Germany, Benny, a friend of our good buddy Adam has just completed a very classy restoration project on a rather special Pinarello...

The bike belongs to the wife of one of the Pinarello family who asked Benny to get the bike back up and running after it had been sitting unused for sometime. Benny did an amazing job...

The details are stunning, those lugs, that stem and all that polishing...

The chain guard is a work of art too...

Thanks to Adam for sending these photos and thanks to Benny for letting us share them. 

Meanwhile In Munich...

Our good friend Adam Bell sent this photo of his beautifully restored Vitus 979 Duralinox road bike under the sakura trees in the Olympia Park in Munich...

Cheers to Adam for the photo. Japanese readers can pick up Adam's excellent Bicycle Dictionary over at the Circles webshop.
