Circles & Co. Nagoya

OK, here we go, a rundown of the photos we took at the amazing Circles store in Nagoya last month...

Even the window displays are crammed full of some seriously nice bike porn...

And inside there's more, lots more. Just inside the door is this beautiful Sim Works Doppo tourer built by Nagoya frame builder Shin...

A gorgeous Sycip town bike...

A very cool Hunter Cycles single speed MTB...

The shop is absolutely packed with bikes and parts...

And frames...

Which naturally need forks...

More bars than a Bukowski novel...

And so many parts and accessories, all very well displayed with some fun info dotted around too...

In the side room next to the workshop there's mudguards or "fenders" for the non-English speaking readers...

And tyres...

Everything you would need for a bike packing adventure...

And more tyres...

A good selection of bags at the rear of the main shop...

And caps (not hats)...

And clothing...

Around the counter there are display cabinets. To the bicycle nerd these cabinets are treasure chests bursting with shiny booty...

As well as all this stock there is some very nice cycling memorabilia on display...

An amazing shop with a mind blowing amount of stock. No ifs no buts, go there. Turn off your computer, pack a bag, get on a plane and go to Circles. Or follow the shop via their Twitter, Instagram and Flickr pages. A big thank you to Shige and all the Circles crew for the warm welcome and hospitality.

All these photos were taken downstairs at Circles, we still have a bunch of pictures taken upstairs. They'll be posted here soon, stay tuned.

Naturally, this being Kyoto, there were a fair few Nakagawa bikes around...

And somewhere under all that mud there is a beautiful Kualis...

There will be a few more CX posts appearing here as we go through the tons of photos taken over the season.
