I love seeing the way others build up a Gan Well Pro. This here is Jessica’s lavender Gan Well, and it’s surely a proper build. Choice bell placement too!

FAST!
My friend Rodney posted this video up on Facebook last night and I couldn’t resist sharing it (It’s from a Keirin racing school in Japan). It took a little while for me to be impressed until all of a sudden these guys were going mach-10 while essentially going no where! I read a few of the Youtube comments and actually started laughing out loud when seeing commenters arguing about how this video was “obviously sped up”. Kids, this is how you train to kick-ass as a Keirin racer.

This bike reminds me of the ‘Pumpkin Spasher’, a lovely fixed-townie we had at The Old Spokes Home with a similar look to this gorgeous Nagasawa. More photos after the jump and be sure to check out the full set at Mobius Cycle’s Flickr.
