Rin Rin Moriguchi, Osaka


OK, here we go, possibly the most photos we have ever taken at one shop, the wonderful Rin Rin Moriguchi in Osaka. When you see a bunch of custom Surly fatties outside a shop you just know you are in for a treat...




Set over two floors with the downstairs given over to a massive showroom of town bikes, kids bikes and mam-chari's and a few one offs taking center stage like this custom tandem cruiser...



Also downstairs are the accessories and parts, some seriously nice kit displayed in the cabinets...





They even have their own Rin Rin Jersey...



From the downstairs showroom, just above the huge Penny Farthing, you can see the upstairs showroom...


As you make your way up the stairs there is more lovely bike want, a single speed camo On One for example...


Or a bamboo Zam Bikes frame...


Some custom wheels...


Monkey bikes...


A gorgeous Retrotec frame with matching t-shirt...


And then you make it upstairs to the promised land...


We already posted photos of this custom camo Surly Troll but there are plenty more custom Surlys on display...






As well as many other beautiful custom builds and limited edition bikes. A belt drive Helmz single speed...


Roadies and tourers from Panasonic, Anchor, Calamita, Rock Bikes, Basso and Bruno...







A display cabinet filled with some one off custom painted parts...



Hardtail MTB's from Commencal and On One...



Xtracycle cargo bikes...


Colourful cruisers and tourers from Alohaloco and Vivo...



And a rare limited Fuji Sundance...


Even a couple of staff BMx bikes...


A truly brilliant shop with some unique stock. Very friendly and welcoming staff, great custom builds and cool accessories. No if's or but's, you have to check this shop out! Follow them on Twitter, Flickr, or keep updated via the shop blog. A big thank you to the Rin Rin staff for letting us take so many photos and answering all our questions.
