Salsa Marrakesh @ Bicycle Maru

Kentaro-san, owner of the wonderful Bicycle Maru in Nara is a very patient man. He has been in the process of building this Salsa Marrakesh for himself for the past 18 months! It was almost complete earlier this year and then a customer made him an offer for the original wheels he had built for it meaning a few more months of waiting for parts to arrive. It is now, as Kentaro-says "80% complete" (he's still waiting for custom bags), and it's a stunner...


It is a parts porn overload, Gevenalle shifters, Paul Clamper brakes, Chris King headset and hubs Shimano drive...


Rolling on 650B Velocity rims with those Sim Works "Homage" tyres and a very cool vintage Yanco Pad on the top tube...


Stylish Rindow Bikes Bullet Lights front and rear...




Get following Bicycle Maru on Instagram and Facebook to see more of his gorgeous builds.
