First, here's the full article. And then here are some selected quotes:
"...behind the bespoke bike trend is an entirely new breed of bicyclist."
"As any bicycle fashionista will tell you, however, it's all about accessorizing your frame. If you want it to turn heads, just as belts and bags should match, so too should certain key parts of your bicycle."
"Sugino finishes its cranks (the things your pedals attach to) in blue, gold, gunmetal gray, pink, red and traditional silver."
Ok, but despite those funny bits the article also mentions Ocean / Pacifix frames and includes an mini-interview with Rene who runs the excellent NJS Super Market and is currently setting up a fixed gear shop in Osaka. Good luck to him. And there are addresses to Punch Cycles and Ocean Cycle Factory in the end.

ReplyDeleteafraid of losing cool points anyone?
Very cool. Needs a real trick fixie saddle like this one, 1960s Cinelli.
ReplyDeleteBlasphemy a Nagasawa with a brake, oooooh sooo much pain... If you cannot ride a fixed gear, get a road bike, there is really nice road bikes.
ReplyDeletestupid comment... Nagasawa has his own road team and hates people riding brakeless on his frames. He designed the first clamp-on brake sets.
