Bridgestone Chero 20 Klunker Custom

Now this is a cool little build by Bici Termini, a standard Bridgestone "Chero 20" mini-velo customised with a set of Fuji "Bullmoose" bars and CST knobbly BMX tyres  making this possibly the first "mini velo neo klunker" around...

The Brooks Cambium has been pimped with special Katae Japan rivets...

Possibly the coolest bike we have seen this year (all due respect to all the other cool bikes we've shot) Follow Bici Termini on Instagram for more custom builds like this.

Vintage #MessLife @ Giracha

Sayaka at Giracha always has some cool reading material that you can browse while you drink your coffee. Here's a few pictures from a very cool early 90's Popeye Magazine documenting the messenger culture at the time (before the trustfund kids and the hipsters killed the lifestyle!)...  

Popeye Magazine.

Remember when couriers used gears?!

Beautiful Toyo Frame MTB.

Lids and Spin wheels.

Baglife.

Thanks, as always, to Sayaka, Rene, Tsutumi and the whole Giracha crew.

Michiko's Surly #EverydayBike

A few shots of Michiko's rather cool Surly Cross Check commuter or #everydaybike taken last week at Achieve Kyoto...

A sensible yet fun build with Nitto Albatross bars, Fairweather tyres, Brooks saddle, downtube shifters, MKS pedals and a very cool Swift Industries bar bag...

And if you don't have a dive bomber on your bars then you really ain't doing this right...

Thanks so much to Michiko for letting us take these photos. Check out her other, slightly more serious bike here.

Salsa Marrakesh @ Bicycle Maru

Kentaro-san, owner of the wonderful Bicycle Maru in Nara is a very patient man. He has been in the process of building this Salsa Marrakesh for himself for the past 18 months! It was almost complete earlier this year and then a customer made him an offer for the original wheels he had built for it meaning a few more months of waiting for parts to arrive. It is now, as Kentaro-says "80% complete" (he's still waiting for custom bags), and it's a stunner...

It is a parts porn overload, Gevenalle shifters, Paul Clamper brakes, Chris King headset and hubs Shimano drive...

Rolling on 650B Velocity rims with those Sim Works "Homage" tyres and a very cool vintage Yanco Pad on the top tube...

Stylish Rindow Bikes Bullet Lights front and rear...
