... and the new project is a little ViValo from the far east. yes it has
the proverbial "keirin" ding in the top tube, but it's not so bad. sort of
a badge of honour.
... anyway it's being loaded up with Shimano 10 pitch, and the usual nos
nitto, mks, etc.
... and yes, the Cherry Blossums are out in DC now, so it only seems fitting
to put some life back into this one. if you look closely on the front of
the top tube, one can see some paint fading where the njs
certification/inspection license was attached.
... so much nicer in it's traditional build than the current cut and plug
keirin frames like Nagasawa etc.
... and no sparkles in the paint either !
many happy lotus blossoms to all tonight.
