Neon Genesis Evangelion Bike

This week's Tokyo International Anime Fair saw the debut of the EVA 01 bike, modeled after the popular Neon Genesis Evangelion series. The bike has a six-speed Shimano transmission, suspension for front and rear and can be folded into a more compact shape. To the dismay of fanboys everywhere, this model is colored to match the first Eva unit, but the company has no plans to release more models to emulate the other Eva units.
