Hello!
Two Wheel Cruise
with my wife
Thuong
Today we're here in the giant store of Nagoya
in Nagakute, where we live
we came over here to check out the 2019 Giant bikes models
the new giant propel, as well as a few others.
we have a separate video just on the propel if you're interested
here's the link
so we're going to show you around our "local" bike shop
this is also one of the more larger Giant dealers in Japan
at the shop entrance we've got our 3 really really nice model road bikes
these are the new 2019 Giant road bikes
the new giant propel advanced SL 0 disc
costs over $10,000 USD
this is the 2019 Giant Propel Advanced SL 1 disc
and my wife's dream road bike
the giant tcr sunweb team edition
she first saw this bike while we were cycling in Taiwan last month and fell in love
moving along...
some other road bikes..
we've got lots of new models in right now so it seems like they just all the
new 2019 models are coming in the new contends so about $800 for this one
a couple more beginner models here contend to about $800 for starter bike
contend one over there as well I've got a disc model this is a pretty cool frame
color here
we've got a couple of the pro giant son web items here some of their shoes Nick
on a pinky had a mental Hawaiian a
tomato Katara nah no Yo Gotti we've got a lot more road bikes in line here some
more propels these are the old models so pro tip if you're looking for a cheap
bike you should shop around this season because this is when the new models are
coming in stock and they're trying to get rid of old inventory so you can see
all of these bikes here are 10% off pretty sure they'll do a big closeout
inventory sale once they're trying to eliminate all these bikes out and get
the new models in we've got our cyclocross bike here as well tcx SLR 2
and then we've got our mountain bike section
ooh this is a pretty cool color
really small chain ring up front on this one looks like we've got some more
comfort touring kind of road bikes here any roads some more downhill style bikes
here I haven't really done any downhill riding here in Japan yet but I have done
a bit of cross country riding apparently it's pretty popular but hard for me to
get to without a car right now to get to the trails there we go some more road
bikes and you can see let's take a look at the full shop right now so from here
we're at the edge of the shop you can see this place is pretty massive we've
only really shown you so far from the entrance to this section so far really
nice open space compared to a lot of the more small cramped shops here looks like
they get a bike over here for some bike fits you can get a pro fit while you're
here some more propels here these are some more of the new models we've got
the advanced to much more reasonable price for these ones so about two
hundred twenty thousand yen about two grand Shimano 105 with this model the
propel advanced one this one's all Tegra one of the things that you lose going
down from this model from the other model to this model a lot of this extra
cable routing that's not routed inside the frame but rather going outside the
frame we've got some components on sale here dirt ace El Tigre 105 Tierra can
check out the prices here compare see how those go back home Pro Race category
it's pricey to be in the pro race category working our way around the
other corner let's see we've got a couple other lots and lots and lots of
road bikes here way more than I can go over in this video lots of the new model
stickers here though it's a pretty interesting blue and green one anyway
let's let's go check out some of the rest of
the shop real quick so here we got some more casual lifestyle bikes the gravity
air and some more hybrid cross bikes these are the escape models used to sell
a lot of these when I worked at a giant shop part-time back in Michigan pretty
popular bike great bike for general commuting general city riding and hello
this is the bike that I was using when we were in Taiwan
this is the giant fast road so me and my wife rented a couple of these bikes
while we were in Taiwan doing our cycling tour actually a little bit
pretty pricey a bit over a grand for this bike but really solid bike nice
stiff frame disc brakes and really solid ride for our touring rides some more
escape models here
here we've got some of the mini bikes I'm not too familiar with these these
are the idioms we've got the idiom one about $750 and the idiom - which seems
to be the cheaper model $600 these mini bikes here are really really
popular these things that fold down just don't take up much space in your
apartment it's the apartments here are really small we've also got our
accessory corner we've got our sunglasses our helmets just probably get
some new helmets soon my helmets are really old cycle wear gloves t-shirts
and then all of our other fun accessories some lights trainers tires
locks tubes tubes here are pretty pricey though these are about what eight
hundred yen so seven eight bucks pretty pricey some more tires more shoes pedals
everything that you could need rack stuff bags so these are not too bad
about 5,000 yen for frame bag 50 bucks
different water bottles about a thousand yen 800 yen seven eight bucks and one of
the last sections here is the woman's corner which they have actually expanded
recently so the live collection items you'll notice we instantly change our
color spectrum of the bikes here and tools actually not a big fan of women's
bikes she likes the men's colors more but some
nice designs here as well if this is the kind of colors that you're into the
skirts you are also really popular here for riding so most women here will wear
a skirt over their shorts just sort of one of the differences here some
different wear some more helmet models we've got a lot of pink colored shades
here for the sunglasses some kind of cosmic designs going on here this is a
pretty cool frame color for this as well some of these bikes are really small
though but I guess a lot of the ladies here are pretty short yes they're going
with the cosmic design for a lot of the live bikes right now the new model hard
to see with the lighting but kind of like a cosmic bowling Center kind of
look
there we go we can see it a little bit better here here we go
almost Halloween here in Japan not really a popular holiday here
unfortunately but starting to grow in popularity a little bit recently and
last year we got our kids by corner we don't have any kids yet so not looking
for anything here right now but nice to see that they've got a bit of something
for everyone here standing in the center of the shop really massive massive
massive bike shop nice to have something like this so nearby where if we ever
need anything really quickly like a tube the tire some equipment some parts can
just come here and get it time for us to go getting pretty hungry
Friday night Oh Mike I see Sonny here we are checking out the outside of the shop
tunes got her mama cherry getting ready to go right here at the intersection the
giant store
and it's time for us to go get some dinner I actually don't have my bike
with me right now because we just rode down to another local bike shop here to
drop off my bike for some repairs my road bike carrucan he's gonna be in the
shop for some repairs for the next few weeks but hopefully gonna be coming back
soon so we can get in some more rides together anyway hope you guys enjoyed
this video and if you guys want to see more bike shop tours in Japan leave down
some suggestions below some bike shops that you'd like us to check out
hopefully nearby in the IT Nagoya region since it's a bit difficult for us to go
far right now but we are hoping to travel soon into the kyoto area to the
Tokyo area and maybe we'll do some more bike shop tours when we're there as
always thanks for watching we'll see you next time here on 2 accrues time to eat
