This is one of funny Kalavinka story!!
4 or 5 years ago,Famous music artist Eric Clapton came to Japan for his tour
He is unknown classic bike collector
He has some or many vintage bike
Old Cinelli road and track bike

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_atrK-jBKJKY/R...

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IEpww48tfcI/T...

His Japanese music friend Hiroshi Fujiwara got old Kalavinka from Yahoo auction Japan

And he showed it to Eric
after Eric want to get it(Kalavinka),Hiroshi took Eric to shop for custom made Kalavinka frame
Eric thought it can be ordered
But his dream did not come true
At that time,builder was very busy
Kalavinka frame builder Mr. Tanabe was politely refused it to him
He said to him
I have many orders of Keirin rider remains very busy now I'm sorry. I will contact you to your order when it becomes available sometime
5 years later,still Eric waiting it in London
I think, that's great story
