I met him in Tokyo few years ago.
This shop guy(Matt) is my friend. He made NJS style steel frame.
I added the video of Youtube to Information of Shizuoka Cycle Sport Center333m, Maebashi, and Tachikawa.
Hey Tomity,
Can I ask you a technical question?
It looks like you use MKS pedals. What cleat do you like to use for these pedals?
I have yoshida “champ” cleats but I’ve heard they can break easily. I bought these from Matt at Kookie bikes - he sells good stuff! Just wondering if there are other stronger options, that are not Shimano PD-64 price.
Good to have you on this forum!
hi tomity, i am headed to japan (tokyo and Osaka) from november 22 to 8 december and have been trying to find out if the keirin is on but all sites regarding this are in japanese do you know if keirin calender in english anywhere or wether they are racing in nov-dec??
G’day!! pushie-san
Nice to meet you on internet!!
I use Suntour Superbe Pro track pedal(NJS)
Looks like MKS pedals
Suntour company was closed
And,I use Yoshida “champ” cleats.
Yoshida “Champ” Cleats 1st. varsion was too hard and cracks. (color:red clear,blue clear,clear model)
Yoshida remake change new cleat(color:black)
I use black one.
I think Roiswin cleats best!!(Shimano)
I’m glad to talk to you
Ride Safe!!

Thank you Tomity-san!!! 
I have blue Yoshida, but I will find the black cleats to replace these. Roiswin looks like a very rare cleat - only in Japan, but even Yoshida are hard to find in Australia.
The old keirin photos are excellent! :lol:

Tomity, I’m doing as you wished. Check the ‘pub’ section of this forum and read ‘have you seen this?’ It would be great to have some input from you.
Thanks again.

I have asked a friend to help translate, she’s keen, is this the main page we need? What would the best web page to translate to English be?
(We might need a quick whip around too but we can deal with that later.)
And one more great Japanese contribution to sport - igo! Almost as addictive as riding fixed.
