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...
