Now that the Colnago is out of the way…

This is next project is probably my favorite out of all my projects.

Always loved triple triangle frames as well as wishbone seatstays, and always admired the craftsmanship of Japanese frame builders. Therefore, there was no way I was gonna let this one go. After months of negotiating and begging (yes, I have no shame admitting to this XD), finally, my friend said yes, and now, this frame is all ready waiting for me in Taiwan.

Can’t wait to share this frame with all of you. I’ve already got all the parts sorted for it as well, to this build isn’t gonna take long at all.

WATCH THIS SPACE!

Anyways, feed-backs are always welcome and hopefully, you guys will like it as much as I do.

Finally got away from work and got this done. I figured that the frame is quite different, therefore I had to use simple looking parts, not to take away the attention from the frame.

Anyway, here it goes. It’s pretty much just Shimano everything.

But Yep rad is rad

Buy everything. I’m glad to see you building and riding these crazy frames rather than just being photographed unbuilt like so many that land in collectors hands. Legend.

Thanks! I started to have this kind of bike addiction because I had always loved the feeling of freedom on a bike. Therefore, I can’t really stand watching a frame just sitting there. Even though I don’t get much time to ride them no more, but I do try my best whenever I can.

Thanks for all your somewhat interesting but awesome responses!

This bike will be a simple build, as the frame is quite crazy already, so the parts I am going to use are all quite subtle and simple. Won’t be long, have some patience, I’ll get it done soon!

Yeah, its sad that the fixie dream is dead. womp womp. This might bring it back to life though.
