Stumbling Across Things - Pelissier & Zeus
I had a bit of business to take care of in Chigasaki, a coastal town about an hour by train south-west of Tokyo. The person I went to see told me there was a shop he thought I might be interested in. I was, as well as being surprised to find a complete aluminium Pelissier bicycle, found by a friend of the shop owner's in Vietnam, a complete Zeus track bike, an NIB 1977 Katakura Silk and an elderly lady prepping an old Schwinn bicycle for a down-to-the-metal respray with a stiff wire brush.
Sorry about the quality of the photos - I only had my mobile phone with me. It was also very cramped in there. All photos I took there are at:

This is neat. It took me a second to figure out what I was looking at:

Is that woman the shop owner? I get the feeling she loves old bikes as much as we do.
