From Japan (Part 5): Team Pedal from Shimano

pedals%20team%20display.jpg So I found these Shimano R540 SPD-SL pedals in a bike shop called Narushima Friends in a neighborhood of Tokyo.

Notice the team colours that are not currently available in the states. I saw Milram, Gerolsteiner, Rabobank, T-Mobile…hmmmm, I forget the others….whatever. The pedals are also cheaper here than stateside.

They shop was pretty well stocked with clothing and hot bikes (carbon Merckx, Pinarello Dogma). I was especially happy because they had a lot of Assos clothing in size small. That meant I could try it on to confirm that “Assos size small” was still smaller than other brands. Now when I go home, I can confidently buy Assos for myself through my shop. That’s right…there’s a reason I work in a bike shop: to support my addiction. Mark needs new cycling duds, and Mark is a little dude.

No, Byron, you can’t get the bro deal on Assos. It’s all about me. pedals%20milram.jpg
