King of the Road

20160921-ian-9

A lot of people think that we only do single speed and city bikes.  Truth is: We do it all.  Recently someone was interested in getting a lightweight road bike for doing regular distances at a quicker pace than your standard around town machine.
Based off of another stock city option built around a Deore group set, we built up this aluminum frame with a Shimano Sora 9 speed group set, Uno cockpit and a handbuilt wheelset with sealed bearing Deore hubs.
For extra stopping power in all conditions we elected to use Avid BB7 disk brakes.  Mostly black on black, this frame is stealthy save for a few red accents.  Quick and nimble it offers our friend Ian the choice to get down out of a headwind and really hammer.
To top it off we take rider fit as a serious part of the experience.  Working with Ian we not only selected his parts based on his wants, but also his needs.  This leaves him with room to raise or drop his handlebars, and adjust the reach on the bike.  Not to mention stand-over is perfect!
Interested in a bike like this?  Depending on the build, pricing goes from ¥4800 up.  Contact the shop today about taking home your own noble ride.
