Just a little help: Does anyone know the link (or is there a website) for the Alps Bicycle Company of Japan. I had a nice visit yesterday with Hiroshi Iimura of Jitensha Studio and he mentioned a variety of products that Alps makes or carries, including classic cycling shoes or shoes suitable. The picture link on the CR to Japanese bikes doesn't seem any longer operative.
Jitensha is a flame keeper that I truly admire and love. I will soon have a Toei 650B that I'm very much looking forward to.
