Rene's Kuwahara Kikuichi MTB

Now this is rather special. A little backstory, a few years ago Takashi-san from Kuwahara got Rene at Giracha a Kikuichi 26" frame. Rene took his time building it up with a stunning selection of modern parts that kept an old school MTB aesthetic. Having been busy with work and family life, Rene didn't have much time to actually ride the bike. Recently Kenji-san from Ballooner & Crazy Sheep has been taking Rene out on the local trails. Last week the bike was at Giracha, obviously I took a ton a photos...

That Nitto cockpit...

An utterly stunning bike. Cheers to Rene and Sayaca for letting me shoot it.

Giracha Sunday Ride

Last Sunday we joined up with the Giracha crew for what was billed as a "Gentlemen and Ladies" Sunday morning ride. We donned our Sunday best and headed out into the beautiful early summer sunshine...

Everyone had made an effort to look smart, Sayaca as always looking effortlessly classy...

Fixed In Nara stylish as fuck and channeling his inner Robert Redford...

Tetsuya-san looking seriously sharp on his beautiful vintage Colnago...

Tsutsumi-san leading the way through the quiet Sunday morning Osaka streets...

Rene rolling on his stunning Nagasawa commuter...

We are traffic...

Loshin and Tsutsumi on point duty...

A Gentlemen and Ladies ride means obeying the laws and waiting patiently at every stop light...

But it's Japan so there will always be a random security guard to tell you off...

Early morning Nakanoshima park is just gorgeous...

Osaka's coolest couple...

Fixed in Nara is a bad influence on local legend Ian...

Just a perfect day...

The new cycling version of Goodfellas looks interesting....

Shooting me shooting you shooting me...

A really fun way to spend a morning. Huge thanks to Tsutsumi, Sayaca, Rene, Loshin, Romi, Ian, Tetsuya and, of course, Fixed in Nara.
