Surly Steamroller At Kaleidocycle Kyoto

A few shots taken a couple of weeks ago of a very cool custom Surly Steamroller that was in for maintenance at the fabulous Kaleidocycle in Kyoto...

Custom Ritchey Ultra

Starting the month off right with a very sweet custom Ritchey Ultra MTB that was in for maintenance at 1Jyo in Osaka last Monday... 

Everything about this bike ticks our boxes, that famous Ritchey fade...

And lugwork...

The classic parts, including the rear mech from the classic era of XT before it went all Star Wars Lego style...

Ritchey cranks of course, bonus points for the Sugino dustcap...

26 inch Panaracer Paselas, the perfect city tyre...

And compared to this Bosco/slingshot stem set up all other cockpits are a load of old wank...

Seven speed XT thumbies...

Just as pretty on the NDS...

And that famous moustache...

Follow the 1Jyo Ultimate Factory on Instgram for more MTB/ATB beauties. A big thanks to the 1Jyo staff for letting us drool over this bike.

A few shots taken at the superb Velo Paris whilst out in Osaka on Christmas day...
