You just need to put it in a bag to be allowed to bring it with you. I use my road race bike front wheel which is easier to remove.

It's a Campagnolo Zonda :). It was also the last day for the brake lever original set-up. As I use it only in fixed mode (I have a flip-flop hub), I removed the rear brake (but I will always keep the front brake).

From there I followed the Meguro River (目黒å·) for a while.

The season of the Hanami is almost finished and sakura are losing their flowers in a nice "snowing" style.
It even covers the river from place to place.

Meguro Kawa Sakura Matsuri, written on the right : Cherry Blossom festival of Meguro (Black eye) River. Each lantern represents a business of the neighborhood, this one is the "Furuyama Dentist Clinic"'s lantern.
Ok enough for the site seeing for now, let's go back to some fixed gear stuff;)
Following the Meguro river and then the yamate dori (a road) I arrived to the place of my job in Shibuya Ku! I was surprised at it was a first with the bike on this way. (I did not know exactly where I was going... yeah a great adventure :)
So I went straight to Dreamworks Cycle which is 2 minute from Samurai Factory's office. Dreamworks Cycle is a tiny shop but almost a museum! The owner who also supports for technical stuff the Sexon Super Peace shop (just one street away), was busy to mount a nice fixed gear. His stuff is mainly from Europe, oldies but VERY goodies things!

You can't really notice it on this picture but this beautiful pist bike is a junior model coming from Italia, Torino :

If you are in Tokyo looking for collector items from Europe, it's definitely a place to go.

This brake lever is hand made by the shop's owner.

Then after a break for a late lunch under the sakura of Yoyogi parc, I decided to go to the Blue Lug shop and checked their handle bars and brake lever.
Here are few shots of their items, they have much more (and also a good clothes corner).

Funny handle bar.
This time I just bought this "one shot" brake lever (about 4800 yens - Gran Compe).
