YOKOHAMA's DON-FANGO

The second collaboration frame between DONTZER and BROTURES, " DON-FANGO ", was released to great surprise last night.

BROTURES x DONTZER DON FANGO ¥176,000

It's a highly expandable frame that can keep up with the latest track bike trends. Tire clearance is guaranteed for up to 35C. With a V-brake mount, you don't have to worry about mud clogging and you can use very effective brakes.

The top tube and down tube are made of strong Gonta pipes. The appropriate pipes are carefully selected for use in each area, and this is where you can really feel the pride of HANDMADE IN JAPAN .

Fujimoto-san also explains the details on YouTube, so if you have time, please take a look. Honestly, after seeing this, you'll want it.

With a frame like this in front of me, I would like to build a bike that can also be ridden in the mountains.

The first customization at the Yokohama store was done by me, Kazamura. This frame will show a completely different look depending on how you assemble it. I was excited as I tried various things to assemble it, so please bear with me for a while.

It's more like a leisurely stroll rather than a full-on mountain ride.
With such a cool and sophisticated color, you might be tempted to use only silver parts, but we've refrained from doing so by interweaving them together to create a crisp look.

I tried using some handles that are a little more distinctive, although people may either love them or hate them. " RITCHEY KYOTE BAR "
Since the frame has thick tubes, I used OS.

But I wanted a steel stem for a clean look. The SIMWORKS Rhonda Stem, which Tojo strongly recommended, was the perfect fit for that request.

The wheels are VELOCITY A23 x PHILWOOD

The recommended tire width for the A23 is 23C~35C, so this rim is perfect for this frame. You can use block tires to go off-road, or use thin tires to race around town. Being able to change tires to suit the situation is a big advantage.

The shoes I had him wear this time were the MAXXIS SPEED TERRANE.

The 33C is just the right width, and the center section is not a rough block, so it can run on paved roads to a certain extent. A greedy tire.

It seems to have a reputation for rolling, so it's also recommended for those who are thinking about playing Tracro!

Brake parts are all SHIMANO. If you are worried about whether it will work well or not, you can't go wrong with SHIMANO.
V-brakes aren't that expensive either.

The drivetrain is also impeccable.
This time, I used a lighter setting of 44T x 18T. It might not be enough for the city, but it's good for a relaxed ride.

We will make suggestions on this matter to suit each individual customer's riding style, so please feel free to consult us.

If you're riding on unpaved roads, it's also gentle on your buttocks. A rugged saddle with plenty of padding. WTB Pure Steel

It will probably fit even with a thinner saddle, so it's a very versatile frame both in appearance and design.

I don't think there are many frames that are as exciting as this one. I'm sure it will show all sorts of different faces depending on how it's assembled. I'd love to see a custom frame with attention to detail in every detail.

Please take your time to think about it and consult with us. I would like to say that, but due to the number of pipes, we can only make 15 units . We don't think they will be re-sold, so if you are even slightly interested, please feel free to contact us.

Handcrafted by true Japanese craftsmen, these are wonderful frames that you can pass down to your children and grandchildren.
