Miyata 912 @ English Bay

For the past couple years summers I commuted around town and to work via a mountain bike I purchased 5 years ago. The ride was tiresome as the bike wielded wide mud tires, front suspension and weighted a lot! It was time for a change, and that ment an upgrade to a lighter more efficient bike. With an attractive price, the mountain bike had no problem to a co-worker who picked it up right from my desk. For the next week I asked Dennis, a friend of mine who now lives in Hong Kong to help me find a fast road bike in a decent price range. I’d like extend a big thank you to Dennis as he helped me find this bike. Without his help, I would have probably just ended up buying a newer, low end bike in the same or more price range.

The Miyata 912 is a true classic mid 80′s Japanese semi-pro road bike. To name a few things, it features a triple-butted Chromoly tube and cast fully lugged frame. Driven by all the numerous Shimano 600EX components from shifters, cassette, hubs, breakset, leavers, Crankset/Chainrings, to pedals – all factory stock might I add. The original owner used this bike for triathlons, so it shows some wear and tear; nothing like a good bath to restore some youth to it’s age though.

A couple errands held me back in the afternoon, so when I finally came home, I jumped on the bike and road along the seawall to English Bay in the sunset. The speed was captivating, the ride thrilling; any stress was forgotten about and left behind.

Now if I could only get a photo like the one above, with my Corrado and a Miyata 912 mounted on top!

Came out onto my balcony in evening to capture this rare glimpse of a rainbow just hanging over Metrotown. The purple wasn’t altered or added in post either; straight uncommon, yet incredible saturation.

The weather as well, very bizarre. For the past week you couldn’t go anywhere without strapping a portable A/C down your neck. Today, cold with a chance of rain.

Couple weeks before the huge international music festival (IMF) in Vancouver, I found an article in the Georgia straight which featured the Shy Brothers and a couple photos that I took @ Fusion Dreams 2009.

If you look closely at the avatar, you’ll see they used a photograph I just posted above.

I without a doubt will look forward to working with such talented individuals like Ben and Mike again. Seeing as the Shy Brothers will undeniably be walking the DJ red carpet in the future, so I hope to get the opportunity to photograph them in a new caliber.

This is to all the Corrado owners out there
