F-i-N's Look KG361

When F-i-N's Giant TCR road bike got a crack on the BB shell a couple of months back he began the hunt for a new frame. The mighty Giracha had a beautiful early 2000's Look KG361 in stock. F-i-N snapped it up and swapped the parts from his Giant on to it. The results are stunning. A perfect match of old and new...

Moots Gristle @ Cycle Picnic

A rather nice custom Moots Gristle shot at the Cycle Picnic in Osaka a few weeks ago. The Gristle was originally marketed as a "69er" MTB, meaning a 26" wheel in the rear with a 29" wheel up front. Nakahara-san, the owner of this bike has built it up as a 700c road bike with some very choice parts...

Rotor cranks with Pub Pedals over the Crank Brothers Egg Beaters...


Shimano XTR mechs...


Controlled by Gevenalle shifters on a set of Thomson bars and a Thomson stem...


All rolling on Enve rims laced to Chris King hubs with a One by Esu carbon fork...


A serious bit of custom bike porn, a big thank you to Nakahara-san for taking the time to show it off to us and for the test ride!
