Hello, Toriyama here.
Today's custom bike setup is for those of you thinking about customizing your ride or even for those interested in getting into fixed gear bikes. This article is definitely worth a read.
The model we customized today is the entry-level LEADER CURE.
LEADER CURE COMPLETE BIKE ¥132,000- (INC. TAX)
This model is often seen as an entry-level bike, but it's actually a very cost-effective option. The CURE uses the same quality tubing as the 725 and 735 models, with the same caliber fork. While the parts are slightly lower in rank to keep the complete bike price affordable, the frame specs are almost on par with higher-end models. Additionally, the seat post has a standard 27.2" size, allowing for easy upgrades with various brands. This feature is perfect for those who enjoy customizing their bike. We've used low-cost, high-performance items for this customization, making it ideal for first-time customizers.
NITTO SLAT BAR BLACK ¥10,340- (INC. TAX)
NITTO UI-75 STEM BLACK ¥7,810- (INC. TAX)
The CURE has an aluminum frame with slender tubing, which pairs well with sleek parts like these. The SLAT BAR is a slim flat bar with a 25.4"" clamp, popular for its versatility with chromoly frames. Pairing it with the NITTO stem creates a cohesive brand look. Being a Made In Japan brand, NITTO offers these quality parts at reasonable prices.
NITTO S92 MTB SEATPOST BLACK ¥11,880- (INC. TAX)
SELLE SAN MARCO REGAL ¥14,850- (INC. TAX)
The seat post is also from NITTO. The S92 is NITTO's only 0-offset seat post, designed originally for MTB use. It has a two-bolt clamp for a secure hold, making it suitable for fixed gear bikes. We paired it with the simple yet stylish REGAL saddle, featuring a subtle logo.
RUNWELL ELITE HUB NUT BK/SV ¥1,980- (INC. TAX)
RUNWELL HEX VALVE CAP ¥1,018- (INC. TAX)
Now for some core customization. These parts aren't necessary but add a touch of personal flair. People who know their stuff will be impressed if they care about this kind of thing. RUNWELL is a brand that understands what cyclists want, crafting unique and refined tools and accessories. Their products are both functional and beautifully designed, sure to impress.
KNOG OI LUXE BELL 22.2" size ¥5,082- (INC. TAX)
YNOT × BROTURES PEDAL STRAPS ¥12,650- (INC. TAX)
These are small parts, but highly recommended for your first fixed gear bike. You might think a bell looks out of place on a sports bike, but the sleek design of the KNOG OI LUXE makes it a great addition. It's surprisingly useful once you have it. Pedal straps are almost essential for a fixed gear bike, enhancing rideability significantly.
How did you like this setup? There's no need to go all out with your customizations. Enjoy adding your personal touch to your bike.
