Vivalo CX Special

That tasty Vivalo CX Special frame built up. Bad photo but lovely looking bike nonetheless.

Vivalo Cyclocross Special

Just came across photos of this sweet custom fixed / single speed cyclocross frame by Kusaka-san and his newly re-launched Vivalo-brand. There was that Kinfolk "Urban Bike" built also by Kusaka already but the fact that more and more of these keep popping up everywhere indicates that dedicated steel sscx frames are becoming the thing to be riding. And why not?

See the whole photoset here.

EDIT. And this, it's bit different, though...

RE:Products Project -> VIVALO Reborn

It seems that Kusaka-san's Vivalo brand has been relaunched in Japan. No traces of Keirin track bikes on the site at the moment though, just traditional steel road bikes instead.

As my Japanese skills are bit rusty for the moment Google Translate tells us, somewhat cryptically:

"VIVALO lineup was only ever full order frames. This time, experience the handmade chromoly frame more people If you think please, let me hang the frame in addition to the lineup Submitted.

Even if the frame hanging, size 8 size and color from 3 colors You can choose. In addition, Comfort Space, Mr. EAST RIVER CYCLES Hutte 8to8's three stores, the original color of each shop And let me also available. So, you can choose from six colors.

 All geometries have been referring to the load frame produced so far I was allowed to DRESSCODE designed from scratch. Please come and look here for the first time the real chromoly frame? ! !"

Kinfolk "Urban Bike"

This is apparently a Kinfolk "Urban Bike" built by Kusaka-san but with those canti brakes and fat knobby tyres it appears to me more like an old school single speed cyclocross bike. Which I can certainly dig (despite the pretty awful looking handlebar+stem combo).

Check out KinfolkBicycleCo here in case you're not already familiar with them.
