Sekido Bashi Spring Flea Market

Tags: sekido-bashi, bicycle, fixed-gear

As you may remember (or not) I've already been to this bicycle flea market which takes place twice a year. I must say that this spring version was much more interesting, more sellers I think and more stuff to see, especially more frames.

Of course I took a load of shots :)

If this market is not specialized in ピストバイク(pist bike = fixed gear), you can still see them all around!

Even if you don't intend to buy anything, it's really cool to see the bikes their owner proudly show.

I had the pleasure to meet Numata San and Maeda San of cogmag.com. They are photographer/writer correspondents for the magazine. I was surprised to learn that they were readers of this blog *_* よろしくね!
Apart from the magazine, I bought from them some funny stuff, a set of pieces of leather with a sewing kit to put it on the toe clips that I just bought before).
