Let's go camping on a fixed gear bike.

There's a YouTube channel that I've been hooked on watching lately.
This is the YouTube channel "Tokui video" of comedian Tutorial Tokui.
It's a VLOG-type YouTube channel, but what I particularly like are the camping videos.

Go to the campsite, cook and eat.
It's nothing special, but as you'd expect from comedians, it's funny.
Plus, the food looks really delicious.

Anyone who has been camping will understand, but why is camp food so delicious? As Tokui-san said, maybe camp food makes you like even foods you don't like.
No, maybe that's true. Lol

I used to have the preconceived notion that you need a car to go to a campsite, but nowadays it seems that more and more people are going camping by bicycle.

Instead of just watching, I think I might go camping myself. On a fixed gear bike like this.

TYRANT BIKES LEGACY Complete Bike

The body of the vehicle is a LEGACY, which has just been restocked.

The biggest features of the LEGACY are that it incorporates track geometry while being able to accommodate thicker tires, and that the frame has several eyelets so that a rear rack or bottle cage can be attached.

This allows you to increase the amount of luggage you can carry, while the thick tires make it easy to negotiate rough roads at campsites.

If you're going bicycle camping, I recommend LEGACY.

Handle: NITTO B802 AAF-SSB riser bar

Stem: THOMSON ELITE X4 STEM Black

Grip: VANS® V2.1 LOCK-ON Grip

The B802 has a high rise handle and a powerful backsweep.
It's a handlebar that I'm not very familiar with, but personally I don't like handlebars with too high a rise.
I've recently come to realise that this handlebar is great as it has just the right amount of rise height and allows you to use the back sweep to raise your upper body.

I personally don't like stems pointing upwards, so I used a 10° angle THOMSON stem pointing downwards.
THOMSON offers a wide range of sizes and angles, so it's easy to find a stem that suits your taste.
Repair parts are also available, so you don't have to worry if an accident occurs while camping.

Wheels: BROTURES WIVER x BROTURES TRACK HUB

Tires: PANARACER GRAVELKING PLUS

Cog: By BROTURES TRACK COG

Of course, the tires are thicker, so I used PANARACER Gravel Kings.
Considering the paved road to the campsite, we chose slick tire pattern.

The cogs are the just-released BROTURES original cogs.
Again, taking mountain roads into consideration, I deliberately set it to be just a little lighter than usual and used an 18T.
The price is reasonable and you can try out different gear ratios.
In fact, the quality is good, with little unevenness in the chain tension and a nearly perfect circle.

Brake levers: Velo Orange Grand Cru Brake Levers

Seatpost: Velo Orange Grand Cru Medium Setback Seatpost

We are VELO ORANGE , and we have quietly started selling this product.

A brand from Annapolis, USA.
Their manufacturing focus is not on the racing scene, but on making bikes more comfortable to ride.
VELO ORANGE products are created with a modern classic design while incorporating the good old style.

This is truly a LEGACY part, and is perfectly suited to this customization.

This time it is equipped with brake levers and a seat post.

The brake lever is light in weight, but can be pulled firmly with a light touch.
Even though it is a three-finger lever, it is sleek and works well with track bikes.

The seat post used is the cru medium model.
The beauty of the hollowed-out part of the yagura is as you can see.
The biggest feature is that the saddle angle can be adjusted with just one bolt.
This feature is surprisingly useful, as a slight adjustment to the angle can often alleviate the pain in your buttocks when you're on a long journey.

The LEGACY was perfect for bicycle camping, as it was packed with fresh parts.

It would be nice if I went camping on it, but I'd like Tokui to go camping on it too.

I think I'll start bike camping.
