Lost in translation - l'ispirazione / the inspiration


Quando si parla di Giappone a me, dopo le bici da pista, viene in mente un mervaiglioso film con un’affascinante Scarlett Johansson ed un superlativo Bill Murray, per la regia della giovane Sofia Coppola (figlia del celebre Francis Ford), dal titolo Lost in translation. Questa bici, la mia prima flip-flop (ovvero sia fissa che singlespeed) è piena di componenti giapponesi, fra i quali spiccano un'originale ed elegante sella Kashimax e la guarnitura realizzata da Sugino per celebrare il proprio 60° anniversario.
When it comes to talk about Japan I always thing first about Keirin bikes, than it comes to my mind a beautiful movie played by a fascinating Scarlett Johansson and a superlative Bill Murray, directed by a young Sofia Coppola (daughter of the famous Francis Ford), entitled Lost in Translation. This bike, my first flip-flop (that means both fixed and singlespeed) is assembled mainly with Japanese components, among which an original and elegant Kashimax saddle and a crankset created by Sugino to celebrate its 60th anniversary.
