Kona Jake Custom SS

Easily our favorite bike out of the many that we shot at last weekend's KNSCX race at Biwako this custom Kona Jake single speed...

Nothing really high end or flashy but tons of character...

And a genius single speed set up, next to this all other single speed set ups are utter shite...

Chiyo-chan wasn't as impressed as we were though...

They'll be lots more bikes from last weekend posted here soon. In the meantime a very happy Christmas to everyone...

KNSCX Round 1 Osaka

Early start last Sunday, hooking up with the Chimon Family and F-i-N to head out to Osaka for the opening stage of the KNSCX season...

Dogs at cross!!

The race venue was the rather bleak industrial surroundings of Rinku Town...

Local CX legend Dave Hama recovered well after and early technical...

Hama time!

Switchbacks.

Barriers.

Mud.

The one they call the Street Viper was rullin' it out on the course...

The Viper.

Jump.

Some were taking it all rather seriously...

Rollin, rollin, rollin.

We shot a lot of bikes. Seriously, a LOT of bikes...

'Sonic.

As did F-i-N...

Getting that 'Gram.

Chiyo and Monica made some new friends...

Chiyo and Monica meet "Jack".

And caught up with some old ones, always good to see Andy and Toshio-san...

Dogs at cross 2!

Toshio managed to hide his disappointment at finishing 9th out of a field of 60 riders despite crashing and cutting his leg open!!...

How good does that Team Guell kit look?

A huge thank you to Mike, Yuka, Brad, Toshio and the whole Kansai Cyclocross crew. As usual we have a ton of photos from the day that will be posted here for infinity. It's basically gonna be 33c round here fore the foreseeable.

When Monica gives you that look it's time to stop shooting bikes and go home.
