The Sohoku High School Bicycle Racing Club has concluded their fierce battle at the Inter-High. First year Onoda Sakamichi and his classmates Imaizumi and Naruko switch to new bikes and are preparing for new battles on a team without the third-years. Sohoku's new captain Teshima and his friend Aoyagi also begin working towards a second consecutive championship. As they prepare, Sakamichi's idol Makishima has some words for him...
It weighs half as much as the 
chromoly frame you've been riding.
Ist nur noch halb so
schwer wie dein alter CroMoly.
Pesa la mitad que el cuadro
de cromoly con el que corriste.
Pesa la mitad que el cuadro
de cromoly con el que corriste.
Il est deux fois plus léger
que le chromoly.
Pesa la metà di quella che hai usato finora.
Tem aproximadamente metade
 do peso da sua Kuromori.
