Hello, this is Ren.

How is everyone spending their Golden Week?
Some people go on long trips, some go back to their hometowns for the first time in a while, and some just take the opportunity to relax.
There are many different ways to take a break.

My suggestion for this Golden Week is, "Let's get your car serviced and customized."
I think a good way to spend Golden Week is to take good care of your fixed gear bike, which helps you get to various places, from commuting to around town, during the holidays.

If you show your appreciation by giving your bike some maintenance and updating some parts at the same time, you'll be able to ride it feeling great once the Golden Week holidays are over.
We offer a wide range of brands so you can customize your items in a variety of ways.
I hope you will allow us to help you with this.

When I do customizations, I like to put together brands.
Whether you customize each item individually or replace them all at once, the finished product will look much better if they are from the same brand. It creates a sense of unity.

Here's an example of my fixed gear bike.
The handlebars, stem, and seat post are all Zipp, and brakes are also provided by SRAM, the manufacturer that makes Zipp.
If you plan your future customizations by selecting parts that have a consistent look, you'll be able to reach your ideal in the shortest possible time.

So let me introduce some of my recommended parts brands that are easy to customize all at once.

First of all, THOMSON, a brand we trust.

THOMSON Parts List
This is a brand that BROTURES has been using for quite some time.
The distinctive feature of this brand is that its products are machined from blocks of aluminum using fully computer-controlled technology.
The accuracy is Our reliability is so high that we are entrusted with supplying parts for the aircraft of two of the largest aircraft manufacturers .
It comes in two colors, black and silver, and its simple design has made it a popular choice for many people.
Of course, I use several of them.

Also, the stem and seat post Available in a wide range of sizes to suit your riding position.
Recently, they have also been focusing on carbon parts, and I have been aiming for a seatpost that retains THOMSON's unique shape made from carbon.

In addition, they also provide dress-up parts like this, so you can unify your brand even in the smallest details.
Recently, new colored parts have been released, making it even more fun to match them with your outfit.
I recommend getting all of these items together as it will give a much more customized look.

Next up is DEDA ELEMENTI, a leading European component brand.
Despite its popularity, it is not used very often, so it is recommended for people who don't want to look like everyone else.

DEDA ELEMENTI Parts List
An Italian bicycle parts brand that develops and manufactures its products based on the many years of know-how of Dedacciai, a frame material manufacturer that has handled a wide range of materials.
This brand has more than 20 different models of drop handlebars alone, and is characterized by its ability to suit a wide variety of situations.
There are also a variety of grades available, from entry-level to full-scale race spec.

Even though it is an affordable model, it is still lightweight and has a design that looks great on fixed gear bikes.
As you can see in the photo, they also offer a limited edition silver series and have a wide range of customization options, making this a brand that is a good choice for those who want to put together a look using silver parts.

Have you seen this handle on our blog?
Yes, the brand of this bullhorn is DEDA.
It's reasonably priced at under 10,000 yen, looks good, and has a lightweight, easy-to-use handle.
Please remember that it's not just the handlebars that are excellent, but the stem and seatpost as well.

And NITTO. A high-quality bicycle parts manufacturer that our home country, Japan, is proud of.
You can't talk about fixed gear bikes without mentioning this.

NITTO parts list
After all, Made in Japan is trustworthy.
The company has long been trusted in the bicycle racing and road bike industries, and continues to produce parts using its unique manufacturing methods.
If you have any problems, you can just look at NITTO and the problem will be solved, as they have almost all the parts you need.
In particular, I don't know how many types of handlebars there are. Please leave it to us no matter how you ride.

When you think of NITTO, you think of Keirin.
The standards for parts in keirin are stricter than those in the Olympics, and only parts with the NJS certification stamp can be used.
This certification can only be obtained after clearing many criteria, and NITTO has exclusive rights to the handlebars and stems.
With such high-quality parts, it's extremely reassuring for those of us who mainly ride on the street.

These are the three brands I highly recommend.
With this brand, it's easy to standardize customization for destinations and ensure quality updates.
Recently, the range of original BROTURES parts has increased, making it possible to customize your bike at a good cost.
If you customize it with these, your fixed gear bike will be able to ride more comfortably and refreshingly than ever before.
