Loshin's Steve Goff TT Bike

Loshin is a patient man, he'll wait weeks, months or even years for the right frame and parts for his builds. As evidenced by this, his stunning Steve Goff custom time trial frame...

*SPECIALIZED* Stumpjumper

OMFG!



Best thing Blue Lug have ever done? Quite possibly. More here

Kentaro's Ventana CX

Kentaro-san at Hutte 8to8 just built up his awesome Ventana cyclocross rig...

Panasonic Track @ Giracha

This gorgeous Panasonic NJS track has been through a few incarnations whilst on display at the fabulous Giracha in Osaka. This latest one with the Mavic carbon wheelset has to be the coolest yet...

See more pictures over on the Giracha mechanic, "Lettuce's" Instagram.

And follow the Giracha Walnut Club for all the serious bikeporn builds that come out of Giracha.

Vintage GT MTB

A few quick phone shots of an almost perfect condition vintage GT full bouncer that was parked (unlocked!!) outside a local convenience store this week... 

An XT/XTR drive...

And RockShox Judy's with White Ind. hubs on Mavic rims...

The owner was in the store, the bike was quite a way from the main road. It's Nara, it'll be fine.

The Cat Came Back...

A few quick snaps of FiN's newly repaired vintage Panasonic Mountain Cat, now back in action with a "new" rear NoS Mavic rim and 8 speed hub...

Knowing FiN he'll be riding this into the ground for the foreseeable future, be sure to follow his Instagram account to see where he takes it.

Cielo Sportif @ Hutte

A very stylish custom Cielo (by Chris King) Sportif road bike in the workshop of the ever fabulous Hutte 8to8 last weekend...

A well thought out build with a Sram drive, Velo Orange Grand Cru brakes, Chris King headset, Sim Works stem and a rather nice Swift Industries bar bag...

King hubs laced to Mavics rolling on the fantastic Fairweather "For Cruise" tyres...

Brooks Cambium atop of a Sim Works post...

One very elegant bike. Follow Hutte on Instagram and Twitter to see more of their custom work.

FiN Mudman Pimpin'

A quick afternoon spin with Fixed-in-Nara yesterday and a chance to snap a few recently acquired upgrades on his Mudman. The Porcelain Rocket camo frame bag is a new addition...

As is the Brooks Cambium saddle...

And the Fabric bar tape...

Another quick shot whilst checking for wild boar up in the park...

You can follow F-i-N on Instagram and Twitter, his recent Fujisan shots are stunning.

Toyo Frame CX Bike

Beautiful Toyo Frame cyclocross bike shot at last month's KNSCX race at Biwako...

Very nice Sugino/Rotor combo at the cranks...

The non-drive side...

It's hard to explain how difficult it can be shooting bikes at cross races. Fair enough it's not exactly rocket science but often it's very early in the morning, usually freezing cold, the bikes are positioned in a way that makes photographing them awkward. And then certain people just have to fuck around...

Follow the Toyo Frame Instagram for more of this kind of thing.

Custom Trek MTB

Very custom Trek full bouncer spotted out in Osaka last week. Nice choice of parts making a perfect little street bike...

Flite saddle...

Busy cockpit with Bontrager RXL carbon bars and PDW Speed Metal grips...

Clutch XTR at the rear...

And a B&M Lumotec dynamo light hooked up to a Shimano hub///

We've said it before and we'll say it again...Twenty six is not dead.
