Is this a shop?

It’s a 7-hour endurance race for Japanese city bikes (mamachari) around the Fuji Speedway that happens every year. I think there are a few others scattered around Japan, like in Oita and Niigata.

And the ¥4,500,000 question is “is there an NJS standard for mamachari?”

Here’s this turd. It’s actually a real pleasure to ride. It’s heavy but I spent pretty little money and I like it. Handlebar bag courtesy of mr orc.

It makes me very happy to see bag #2 sitting on a bicycle again.

You have a very lovely turd. Is that aloomlum?

Pretty sure you could throw small amounts of money at worse bikes. Looks good.

I like this bike a lot.

What’s the chairpole? I imagine I’ll eventually end up with one of y’all’s unwanted beautiful minivelos at some point and I think you ride a lil higher than I, so I need to know what chairpole to plan on buying

Appears to be a 400mm cheap steel thingy with an old-school clamp on clamp. Not sure where Rob got it from.

long live two stems on one bike. i still think that idea would have made me eligible to be nominated for, and not win a tarcklebee

I think I bought it from Blue Sky Cycling as a KHS item. They don’t seem to carry it any more, but it’s literally the least nice steel chairpole.
