This is more of a boutique bike shop for misinformed customers who know nothing about bikes sadly I think it is great place to pay way to much for very little. Truth is found through wisdom and experience not fancy store fronts.
@Mathias Jaxson i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
*Looked at a lot of options for getting my **Latest.Bike** . Great find in SAVA. Super light, nice components, really good value as it comes with many options only found in much higher priced bikes.*
Definitely the left Pinarello out of those two. The colour scheme is a bit nicer I think, and it has disc brakes. I used to be into fully white bikes when I was younger but now in my 30s I would only get white if it was mixed with a lot of black components. My first road bike was a Specialized Allez with white frame, fork, stem, bar tape. The whole thing. And I love single speeds. I feel like I miss having a full sized single speed. The Brompton single speed is great but doesn’t feel quite the same. But I can’t have 10 bikes. Got to be somewhat responsible. Also great to see Victor on the channel.
The balance bikes are becoming really popular here in Canada. They are great for kids to learn to practice as well my daughter has down syndrome and at first didnt have the muscle or the understanding of how to pedal, so the balance bike was perfect
Pleasant shopping tour! Always amazed by the trendy jerseys. Although living in Belgium, a pure cycling country, there is no such variety. Also, never seen the mini-bikes. And seems quite some stock available. All bikes are sold out over here with nearly 1 year pre-order. Thanks Cruise and take care 👍
To pick a bike for commuting, it depends 95% on the road you ride on. Pick the bike type that suits your daily road condition.... Roughness, slope, wetness, dirt, etc. Really enjoy this video a lot. 👍👍
Great bike shop, good choice for Victor, I’m a trek aficionado, all my bikes are treks, one of them is a 2012 7.7 FX so you cannot go wrong with the FX series, I use that for my daily commute to work, also own the Èmonda SLR 6 in matte black love that one, it’s my go to weekend warrior...as always, love your content...
Balance bikes are very popular in North America as well. For young kids to run with their balance bikes with their legs, it helps with them learning how to balance on the bikes and when they transition to pedal bikes, they can easily transition to them without relying on training wheels. Worked like a charm with my daughter!
“Sold” it’s a sales tactic sometimes lol In my shop we have two sold bikes, the customer sometimes don’t have the men’s to get the bike home, car is too small or something Extra bikes section could be where repair bikes go Great shop Cool video!
In CT, most the local bike shops will do a fitting and tune up before you take it home. I like that, since it is a personal touch and attention to details.
That rim spike light is awesome. My commuter is a Bianchi road bike that was modified into a gravel. I live in LA and take hills to and fro work. When I move to Japan, I'll buy a new bike as I've had this ride, Nimbus, for many years. Thanks again for the video.
I always love your videos when you feature bike shops ! It's like window shopping haha Those balance bikes are also popular in Taiwan, i saw some kids racing with it
Balance bikes are super popular in Sweden, taking over from three-wheel bikes. My oldest kid transfered from his balance bike to a regular 12" bike without the pedals in about an hour, and then we could mount the pedals after a few hours more :)
The left pinarello coz it’s with disc brakes. Every time I watch these bike shop videos makes me feel so envious of the fantastic stock Japan has. In my neck of the woods I think bike shops only have 1/3 of Japan has... 🥲. great video anyway love these bike shop visits.
I heard trailers are illegal in Japan but foreigners don’t care lol. What a drool worthy shop, so hard not to spend money on cycling. Thanks for the video
They have balance bikes here in Canada as well. Bought my daughter a Strider 14x with pedal attachment. She learned how to ride with pedals within 3 months at age 3 years old. Kids her age and older are still with training wheels.
showing my (lack of) age here but i would go for the right side pinarello any day of the week! my favourite thing in the shop was the gorgeous white trek emonda sl7 frame with the blue decals! commuting is to be done on the road bike! other than that, just wanted to tell u that the video was really fun, just like the rest of the bike shop series. take care!
4:42 That's the Canton Graubünden flag! My home canton in Switzerland! Your weird goat is a capricorn 😀 Why do they have our flag on these bikes? Amazing! Thanks for showing us. Cheers. (btw: Graubünden is bike heaven and a really nice place to live, just saying 😉)
facebook.com/BrunoBikePH According to their Facebook account: "Bruno Bike is design with Switzerland philosophy. Combination of vintage or classic bicycle characteristics and modern technologies. Imported from Japan" Whatever that's supposed to mean.
I'm up for vanlife after I leave Japan by the way like you man haha. I did it for a few years before starting a Job in Japan last year, this corona thing has made it tough to do things here in Japan. I'm in Morioka Iwate now.
I would like to see some touring bikes like Trek 520 and 920. Touring bikes are the IN thing here in the Philippines right now. But sad to say we don't have stocks of good touring bikes in our LBS. Have a good night... Ride safe...
I'm eyeing Diverge to probably be my next bike. Will need to sell the road bike first though and save up. Maybe by next year, we might see the future shock 2 that on the higher end versions trickle down to the aluminum frame. Keeping fingers crossed.
I have 2 different commuting bikes since I live in Canada and have pretty harsh winters i have a plus size hardtail that I switched the bars to drop bars and for summer I ride a hybrid bike the I switched to dropbars. I did the switches before all these cross bikes and such really became popular.
Wow, teaming up with one of the OG Japan TH-camrs! It's always interesting to see display bikes with no bar tape - do they let you pick if you buy it? I recently got a suspension stem for my cross bike, since I've been riding more fire roads and singletrack on it lately and not cross. I had to sell my mountain bike a while ago, and I sure do miss my Marzocchi Bombers when I'm on the trails! My neighbour's daughter has a little balance bike. She's about 3-4 years old. She's just learning to balance and sit on a bike, and it's easier for her to put her feet down, and isn't totally comfortable yet, so she can also push herself along with her feet. It's adorable to watch her scoot around.
It's been a while since Victor and I met up, it was a lot of fun :) I used to watch him before moving here. I think you can get different bar tape, but will have to pay extra.
Nice tour i am a noob when it comes to bikes so your videos give alot of good information. I like the red bike on the right. I don't know if it was the lighting but it looked like a brighter red than the other one. Also here in the US the bikes come with training wheels and then you get them taken off when it is time for you to learn how to balance lol. So balance bikes isn't really a thing over here. Great video.
It seem all the bike shops near you in Japan far out class the ones near me in NC, USA. Maybe two around Charlotte come close. I could spend hours looking around in there. 27:58 Thuong has them put SOLD tag on the Pinarello! 😉
That bike shop is amazing! I'm looking at getting a new cross or road or hybrid bike myself right now, and it's a struggle because of the pandemic. I took a look at that exact Trek FX myself. The Giant FastRoad Advanced 1 is also an amazing bike; Carbon Fibre frame/fork, Shimano 105 Groupset, hydraulic disc brakes. If only there were some in stock in Canada 😔
That TREK FX2 is amazing...but I love GT Bikes because of the Triple Triangle design. Is there a GT only bike shop in Japan? What is the popular bike brand in Japan other than TREK? I feel lucky I got to know your channel, I love bicycles and your videos are so amazing, I feel like I'm already touring Japan. Keep it up TWC!
I am a big Trek fan I have a 2021 Fuel EX 9.8 and a 2019 Marlin 7 and for city urban commute I use have a SE Bikes Beast Mode single speed BMX with 29 inch wheels
bike store video is never long enough XD More Thoung questions in bike stores, always have a funny view on things. I think i have seen you're friend on his channel a long time ago, he was getting haircuts and shaves, kinda ASMR like videos.
Might have to start making them longer haha. Victor has been doing YT videos here for over 10 years, he does a haircut ASMR channel as well too "ASMR sounds of Japan"
Another great video. Love the bike shop tours. Vic was looking at a nice orange bike before deciding on the black bike. Not into a black bike, but, of course, it’s Vic’s choice. Now which is it for me? The bike on the left or the bike on the right? Wrap up the one on the right, please. A nice splash of white with red handlebar tape. Awesome!!
@@mikechan1720 Those sell like pancakes here in my country lol, even if they range for like 1500-2000USD. Prices of bikes went up like crazy because of the pandemic hahaha
Really enjoy your videos. I'm moving to Tokyo in a couple of months, and would love some recommendations on good bike shops! Also, I'm quite familiar with most of the big international brands, but are there any premiuim Japanese brands worth looking into? Especially the brands building light aero and climbing bikes! Thanks!
As per the owner of my lbs, Trek still manufactures the top end carbon frames in Waterloo, WI, but the rest of their bikes are manufactured primarily in China by Giant, actually.
Some Top End bikes from Trek are made by Giant in Taiwan, such as Project One's customed bike frame. But these frames, bike parts, Bontrager tires will be sent to Warerloo, Wisconsin for assemblying and packing up for shipment worldwide.
Specialized Diverge E5 is a gravel bike. I wanted to get the Diverge E5 Comp last year (well I wanted a Orbea Terra but out of Santa's budget!). but the wait time was way too long, so I ended up with my Trek X Caliber 7.
I'm from Malaysia and here we call the balance bike is push bike as the kid need to push the bike with their feet. There even a competitive competition for the push bike. You can search "push bike" and few video from Malaysia. Quite entertaining to watch. The balance bike did help the kids to have a "feel" how to balance the bike properly before they upgrade to pedal bike and no longer require training wheel
Makes me wanna robe a bank just looking at all those branded bikes 😍😂 And for me i like XC mtb but I'm begging to branch off to road bike may buy a gravel type.
Seen a number of parents with little kids using balance bikes here in Colorado during the summer months (late-spring to early-fall). As for water-bottles, I know a number of people who have smaller bottles where they can easily access them, with bigger bottles (near-frozen contents) packed away.
I have a co-worker who has a single speed and for some reason every time we ride he has an issues. I have a 1993 Univega Alpina 5.3 MTB (circa 1993 I think) that just keeps going and going although I have had to change the drive train a few times. But never break downs during a ride. Maybe it is just the old tech.....
I used to have a trek FX 2 (2019) and used it for regular commute in my hometown, even used it to travel (i stayed at la Habana for a couple months for studies and brought my bike), I adapted it a topeak rack and a mtx bag with lateral folding paniers and I must say, even it gets heavier, the bike itself is kinda light and nimble. Sadly, someone stole the bike when i left it at the garage without puting the lock. Then I bought a trek Dualsport 3 that i enjoy really much because the front suspension absorbs tons of impact from the cobble that is pretty much common here. Thing is, the bike is kinda heavy and the hills get nasty with a rack behind your back and a slightlly more slack geometry than the FX, so im not convinced that much about a suspension fork on a commute bike (even if the cobble more or less demands it), i think Victor is gonna be more than okay with the FX model because it have enough clearance for 700x40c tires with 50-70psi pressure that can handle more or less the impacts. Good upgrades for the FX bike: A cassette with more cogs (changed a 11-36 for a 11-42, that helped me on the unberable hills of my town and with extra load); x1 crankset: makes the bike easy to clean, cut extra weight, is simpler and looks cool; pedals: the wellgo pedals that comes with this bike are awfull AF.
Wow! That’s an impressive shop. They have a full range of bikes. My commuter is a 2011 Marin Bridgeway. I also use it for bike packing until more bikes are available here. Haven’t seen all your videos. Is bike packing a big thing in Japan? Be safe. Be well.

We've got part 2 coming up you'll enjoy 😉
balance bikes are great! better than training wheels for the kiddos.
Thoung really has an eye for the more top of the range bikes
Always 😅
Don't we all
I agree with her: The one on the left.
Good choice!
Man I've been watching Victor for years. Cool to see you guys together!
It's been a while since our last collab :)

Wish we have these kind of bike shops here...😞
They have balance bikes in the US. My nephew had one. Stryder brand I think
Awesome!

Yeah, it's weird they wait a few days to do that here.
This feels surprisingly similar to the bike shop that I work at in the U.S. Very interesting.
It's very US inspired

We’re in California now and the balance bikes are common. We have two for our kids, and it’s really useful.

Those small water bottles work well on full suspension bikes with little room.
I heard trailers are illegal in Japan but foreigners don’t care lol. What a drool worthy shop, so hard not to spend money on cycling. Thanks for the video
Lots of grey areas and cycling laws that need updating :/
i wish i could visit japan for bikeshop tour😍
Such an amazing shop! I need to share this video with some of my LBS friends.
Thanks for sharing!

Here in Canada, I've seen a Husqvarna balance bike at the Husqvarna/ Beta motorcycle shop.

Giant no longer makes trek, trek has their own production line now in taiwan. project one bikes are only painted and assembled in wisconsin.
Nagoya tem Bike Shop muito bonito !
vicotr the beast is here...wow...what's going on my friend? not a few times you have pissed me my guts off... i hope everything is all right!!!
I thought Victor gonna take Marlin, I mean even the cheapest Marlin the geometry is awesome. Anyway always like this bike shop tour video. Cheers XD
Thanks! I think he made a good choice :)
Left. Looks cooler and cleaner. lol The new Addict is pretty cool pick though haha
Those roadbike are super bike hehe
Very!
I couldn't get a Garmin HR monitor to last. Bought a Wahoo HRM (optical type), and it has been solid.
Yep, love Wahoo :)
I think the bikes with the sold labels are awaiting the shops delivery days.
As this is what happened when we bought furniture here in Japan.
Pretty sure they don't deliver 😅 just don't like being rushed
Specialized Diverge E5 is a gravel bike.

Left, I see more disc road bike than rim brake here in CA. Believe same in Japan too.
Wow! beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
Gravel Bikes, an 80'-90's rigid MTB on drops. Models are coming out with flat bars too. So yeah, basically they are old style MTB's.
Pretty much
I ride an AMP ELECTRIC commuter bike . Quite enjoyable. Acera is on the lower end of shifters
Awesome!
It would be intresting if you could do a review about the mini road bike tern surge! I’m curious :)
Haven't seen a demo bike for it yet, but I'll be on the lookout.
Too many beautiful bike, btw im riding a budget bike that is worth 200 dollars still i can maintain 40mph Ride safe everyone
OMG beauty BIKE here
@Two Wheel Cruise I have a Bacchetta Giro A20 Recumbent Bicycle.
Must be nice to have many choices here most of the shops aren't well supplied
Lovely
I have a co-worker who has a single speed and for some reason every time we ride he has an issues. I have a 1993 Univega Alpina 5.3 MTB (circa 1993 I think) that just keeps going and going although I have had to change the drive train a few times. But never break downs during a ride. Maybe it is just the old tech.....
Strange, I never have issues with mine
Love from INDIA Guys...
I lol'd at the "massive tires" comment. (I don't own a roadbike or gravel bike.)
😅
I have a FX2 and I love it.
Awesome!
Hello bike man .very nice bike shop .istanbul turkey
Thanks!
i'm exactly the 1000th viewer, nice
NICE!
I used to have a trek FX 2 (2019) and used it for regular commute in my hometown, even used it to travel (i stayed at la Habana for a couple months for studies and brought my bike), I adapted it a topeak rack and a mtx bag with lateral folding paniers and I must say, even it gets heavier, the bike itself is kinda light and nimble. Sadly, someone stole the bike when i left it at the garage without puting the lock.
Then I bought a trek Dualsport 3 that i enjoy really much because the front suspension absorbs tons of impact from the cobble that is pretty much common here. Thing is, the bike is kinda heavy and the hills get nasty with a rack behind your back and a slightlly more slack geometry than the FX, so im not convinced that much about a suspension fork on a commute bike (even if the cobble more or less demands it), i think Victor is gonna be more than okay with the FX model because it have enough clearance for 700x40c tires with 50-70psi pressure that can handle more or less the impacts.
Good upgrades for the FX bike: A cassette with more cogs (changed a 11-36 for a 11-42, that helped me on the unberable hills of my town and with extra load); x1 crankset: makes the bike easy to clean, cut extra weight, is simpler and looks cool; pedals: the wellgo pedals that comes with this bike are awfull AF.
I haven't ridden one before, but that's good to hear it performs well. Sorry to hear about the bike theft 😢
Would you guys ever consider making a TwC stem cap? :D
Sounds fun. I want to design more merch this year 🙂
@@TwoWheelCruise Don’t limit yourself to stem caps. Do also handlebar end caps.
Wow! That’s an impressive shop. They have a full range of bikes. My commuter is a 2011 Marin Bridgeway. I also use it for bike packing until more bikes are available here. Haven’t seen all your videos. Is bike packing a big thing in Japan? Be safe. Be well.
It's getting pretty popular here, but normal road riding is king
@@TwoWheelCruise Then I guess I just gave you an idea for another video! Suggest you wait until it’s warmer.
Bro your voice make me go to sleep😴
