The longer you use something, the more likely you are to feel the age gap and pay a big price if you buy something that is out of fashion. However, too much vintage is also a problem. For a long-lasting vehicle like a bicycle, it may be very difficult to find the right balance between the two.
This bicycle in a subtle nuance of color, which is rarely seen in the city, is made by the Nishi-Azabu piste specialty store, "Diner (DINER)CARTEL BIKES, a private brand of the "CARTEL" brand, and "bal," which develops modern casual wear based on the cross-culture of the 1990s, have teamed up to create this new line.
The new color is called "Dune Gold" (a golden hue like sand dunes). Inspired by classic Italian city bikes, this 700C size completely original bike has a staggered base frame, which is easy to ride even across a sedan, The base frame is a staggered frame that can be easily ridden across the top of a sedan, and the bike's relaxed airy feel is truly modern, not to mention convenient. The handlebars, tires, cantilever brake, and other parts were all supervised by VAL to create a vintage-like finish that invites a sense of nostalgia and peace of mind. The frame is made of relatively light, strong, and sturdy chromoly steel, and the handlebars are promenade-type.
This exquisitely nuanced body, which weaves a fine line between vintage and modern, is not often seen in the world of bicycles. Riding this bike, you may even feel that your daily scenery will change a little. As the weather gets warmer, this would be the perfect time to take a bike out for a leisurely ride.
