As an activity for the New Normal era.
It offers a sense of freedom and exhilaration that cannot be experienced in a car. Bicycles are packed with many pleasures, such as the ease with which you can get around as soon as you feel like it. As a result, there are many people who are enthusiastically addicted to the various tastes and styles.
A bicycle is a beautiful tool that liberates the mind, body, and soul. Riding with the wind in your face is a great feeling. If you ride with others in a group, the fun is multiplied many times over. How about a group ride while maintaining social distance as an activity for the new normal?
Snapshots of a beloved car full of attention.
Lastly, we would like to introduce the four participants in this group ride, who were very proud of their favorite bicycles. From frame color selection to detailed parts settings, even a single word "bicycle" has a different look and feel for everyone. The depth of the story is very deep. Please take a look at the detail cuts and owner comments.
Model.01_Masaya Kubota
Model name: All-City Gorilla Monsoon
I started building this bike last December and finally completed it this April with a high degree of satisfaction. This is his first drop handlebar, and the deciding factor in his purchase was the color scheme of the frame. Except for the cranks, all parts are made in the U.S.A. The white saddle is a white saddle that I happened to see in San Francisco. The white saddle is because I happened to see a white saddle in San Francisco that looked cool. About a month ago, I rode this bike for the first time off-road in the mountains. He started to ride a bicycle when he was 27,8 years old.
Model.02_Takayuki Izumi
Model name: SURLY Struggler
This is a disc version of the "Crosscheck" model, a representative model of "Surly". This is a machine that uses only navy, black, and silver as much as possible. The handlebars are simple, and parts are mainly made in the U.S. and Germany. The stickers of the same color are reversed to distinguish the bike from others. The reason why he got into bicycles was because his wife's father was an MTB downhill rider and he experienced it first hand. He travels a lot by bicycle during the exhibition season.
Model.03_Minami Hyakuno
Model name: SURLY Steam Roller
This is the first bike I put together. It was a single speed, with thicker tires for stability. It all started at a pop-up at "Pilgrim Surf + Supply" three years ago. Basically, the staff at "Blue Rag" put it together for me. He often rides by himself, and on his days off he often rides along the banks of the Tama River and enjoys a cup of coffee.
Model.04_Ayano Kuroda
Model name: SURLY Longhaul Tracker
The theme is "cute city riding for girls. Originally, I thought of a bicycle only as a foot, but since I put one together for the first time four years ago, I have been thinking of it as if I were choosing clothes. Her favorite is the donut bell she bought in San Francisco, and since she usually carries a lot of luggage, a basket is a must. Incidentally, the person in charge of "Blue Rag" is "Kaneyan," who also appeared in vol. 1 of this project.
