BROTURES HARAJUKU Concept Bike "LEADER 72...
This is the 735TR concept bike that I introduced about a week ago.
As for the second part, this is definitely the right choice.
“LEADER 725TR”
To explain this "concept bike" again, BROTURES Harajuku is a project that proposes a custom bike that makes you want to ride a custom bike like this.
Last time, we proposed the 735TR, which is the king of street, but the 725TR might be a completely opposite custom. lol
Well, there's nothing I can say about it, so let's introduce it right away!
LEADER 725TR What was the concept behind this?
・I want to travel with a rack
・Ride comfortably with thicker tires
The 725TR frame has a long top tube, which makes it highly stable in a straight line and suitable for long touring.
If possible, I would like to make good use of this characteristic. And I want to finish it in a good way. So this custom was completed.
SOMA Shikoro Tire
As is typical of Harajuku, carbon wheels are installed at the front and rear, but the ones we chose are SHRED88 at the front and rear. It's a perfect match for the aero frame.
It is possible to use tires up to 28c, so I used 28c Shikoro tires. The sideline looks nice too.
The reliable Japanese-made tires not only look great but also offer excellent driving performance!
I'll just introduce the suspension, but the crank was also customized.

This is the BROTURES product "ALLDAY" which has good cost performance.
The simple and elegant design is reminiscent of the classic Campagnolo Pista.
I also took the trouble to customize the crank, so I upgraded the chain by changing it to HKK.
And the rack that is also in the concept is "ADEPT Transporter Rack"
You can use it as is, or you can add something like a basket on top to make it look more like a commuter.
That's a good thing depending on the rider's sense!
If you want to travel with a rack attached or ride comfortably with thick tires, you'll need to change the handlebars as well. So I set up a 2PC bar with a higher rise.
ADEPT SPREAD RISER BAR This is a "spread riser bar" that comes out of the same company as the rack, "ADEPT", and it's just the right height, making it easy to ride and compatible with fixie bikes.
Another recommended point is that it is made of aluminum, so it is light in weight and easy to handle.
Also, the clamp size is 25.4, and a shim for 31.8 is also included, so you can easily install it with an open type stem!
Last but not least, comfort is important for long rides.
So I chose popular saddles and grips.

OURY V2 GRIP how is it?
Overall, I think it's a concept bike that's completely different from the 735TR in a good way, but I'd really like you to ride the 725TR, which is good at long rides, like this!
Of course, this isn't necessarily the correct answer, but I think it's one of the answers we came up with.
Whether you're currently riding or planning to ride in the future, please use this as a reference!
Please look forward to the next concept bike introduction.
