Ginrindo, Osaka

A visit to the amazing Ginrindo store in Osaka earlier this month...


The touring and randonneuring bike specialist shop is crammed full of stock, new and old...


A huge selection of parts...


And some absolutely beautiful bikes from builders including Sun XCD, Silk and Extar Proton...





And quite possibly the neatest ever parts section of any bike shop... 








On one side of the shop are these two cabinets...


Basically treasure chests, packed with vintage parts and accessories...











A truly wonderful shop. Make an effort to go there if you can, the owner is knowledgeable and super friendly and you'll spend hours there just marveling at all the gorgeous kit on display. You can keep up with the shop via their blog.
