Goodbye Fixed Gear, Hello Multiple...
Funny how things work out sometimes. I had a new frame waiting for me in Australia. I was in Tokyo with my trusty SE Lager and decided to chop up the SE frame a la s and s coupling. The frame is held together by seat posts and seat post clamps. Took it on a mini-tour around Fuji (the mountain not the bike) and it held together.
With hindsight should have chopped the new cheap steel frame.
Attached a twin speed wheel but need a smaller front chain ring to help with hill climbing.
So this means no longer a member of the FG/SS brigade but I'll be back.

Did you travel by train?
I was reading about Japanese bike bags the other day, "rinko bukuro."

I usually travel by train from Tokyo to where my ride will begin. In one of the pics you can see a black bag with TIOGA on it. This is my rinko. I used to take the forks and wheels off the bike and it would it would fit. Much easier now my frame is cut in two.

I think it is great, both cutting up the bike (LoL) and how they travel by train with the bikes in bags and then tour for a day or two.
