One of the reasons people are attracted to fixed gear bikes is their good looks.

For example, LEADER.
The impact is unmatched and it's really cool.

I think that this first impression led many people to make their fixed gear bike debut with the LEDAER, and I think that was the right decision.

However, after a few years of riding, your preferences for frames tend to change.

Have you ever started to admire the slender, professional-looking chromoly frames?

For people like that, I would like them to replace their car with a METROPOLITAN like this.

AFFINITY METROPOLITAN Frame Set 2024 "Lilac Breeze" (Japan Limited)

It has a completely opposite shape to the aggressive looking LEADER.

After a few years of starting to ride fixed-gear bikes, it's not uncommon for people to give up on these types of customizations altogether.

Front rack: Jack the Bike Rack

The Promenade Handle is stylish and easy to ride.

Of course, the same shape can be achieved with LEADER, but the chromoly METROPOLITAN is more classic and looks better.

THICKSLICK COMP

There are plenty of good tires available now.

But if you're looking for a fixed gear bike, this is it.

This thick feel and the impactful white letters remain unchanged.

They are full slicks, smooth to run and durable.

This is a tire that all fixed gear bike users should try at least once!

I also want to add some color to differentiate myself from others.

I would like you to try adding accent colors to the column spacers and hubs, as they create an exquisite accent.

Saddle: SAN MARCO ROLLS "Le Classiche"

I used to think that sharp saddles looked cool, but now I'm starting to think that classic saddles with hidden rails look cool too.

Everything is about balance, so choosing the right saddle is important so that the look doesn't look out of place.

Front rack: Jack the Bike Rack

I always thought that simple is best for fixed gear bikes, and that it's all about subtraction, but that's not the case.

Adding a rack will make it look stylish, and using a bottle cage will make it practical.

With its classic shape, pops of colour here and there, and practical parts like a rack and bottle cage, it's all the same fixed gear bike, but somehow it looks completely different.

Of course, this is a great opportunity for people who are riding fixed-gear bikes for the first time, but even if you are already riding fixed-gear bikes, you should try riding a fixed-gear bike with a different look.

I think I'll also get to appreciate the benefits of a fixed gear bike.
