Cycle Life 8to8 Osaka

8to8, Osaka
We dropped into the 8to8 store in Osaka yesterday. Always a regular stop for us when we are in town but we have never blogged all their wonderful bikes before. Until now...


An all round shop that specialise in custom builds they have a little of everything crammed into the small shop space. From cargo bikes...

Extra-cycle Edge Runner.
...To cute kids bikes...

Haro Z16 BMX.
From stylish town bikes...

Tokyo Bike Hybrid.
...To cool mini velos...

Cycroc Flat-1 Cony.
...And some super nice custom build ups too, like this eye catching bright pink Giant fixie..

Giant Fixer-F.
Ready and waiting for a similar custom build are frames from Taiwan's uber-cool BreakBrake17...

BreakBrake17 Transfer frame+fork.
BreakBrake17 Charmer frames.
Of course they also have a good range of parts and accessories in store too...

Saddles...
And bars.
This may sound biased as 8to8 is one of our favorite bike shops but it is well worth seeking out when you find yourself in town. Any store that gives free stickers and badges out and sponsor local bike contests is well worth a visit. Keep up with the custom builds on their blog or follow them via their Twitter feed.

Custom Daruma!
