Beautifully colored Toei, owned by a man with quite a few stunners in his stable, judging by his photos. Toei bicycles sometimes get a little too close to precious for my tastes, hewing exactly to the French cyclotouring style of Rene Herse and Alex Singer bicycles from the ‘golden age’. And, don’t get me wrong, they’re beautiful bicycles. But they don’t always look like they would be great to ride, almost overly aesthetic and fussy.

This one, however, has a nice touches, and manages to look picturesque and enjoyable.
