There are still many fixed gear bike brands in the world that we are not aware of, but from among them we have selected the ones that we ourselves are interested in and think are good, and we hope to deliver them to people who are interested in fixed gear bikes or who are thinking of giving fixed gear bikes a try in the future. Our Osaka store has a wide selection of fixed gear bikes from around the world.
We have some new frames available this month too.

" A-Frame Cycles "
A new brand born in San Francisco, USA.
The products, which are made with an emphasis on realizing the concept of "neo-retro", make you feel like they are a fan of fixed gear bikes.
What really caught my attention was the frame .
This time, it will only be available at the Osaka store, and Osaka is the only place where you can see the actual car.

A-Frame Track Frame ¥385,000(incl. tax) We have put it together so that customers can try riding the actual bike at our Osaka store.
The frame size is M, so I think it would fit people between 175cm and 180cm tall .
We will introduce some custom examples.

The first thing that stands out is that it is made of titanium .
For more details, please refer to the blog post released at the time, but to put it simply, it is light, rust-free, and durable.
It's certainly not cheap in terms of price, but unlike other bicycle materials, I think it's a material that you can enjoy for a long time.
It's my personal dream to someday own a frame made from this material.

I think most people have the impression that titanium frames are stiff.
This frame is actually not like that at all; it's so stiff that it doesn't feel like it's putting pressure on your feet.
However, when it comes to titanium frames, you end up wanting to use carbon wheels, for some visual reasons too.

But the combination of titanium and carbon isn't just visually appealing; it's also a great combination for running.
The moderate hardness and lightness of titanium, combined with the shock absorption and lightness of carbon, results in outstanding comfort.
You won't know until you ride it.

This A-Frame Track is a frame that is strongly inspired by the Cannondale Track , a classic fixed gear bike, and the BROTURES F RIM used for this customization was also inspired by ENVE, the leader in carbon rims.
The rear triangle is also designed to be quite tight, which makes the best of this wheel and increases acceleration.
Because this product was created based on some inspiration, I decided without any hesitation that when building this frame, I would use these rims.
When assembling something, I think it will be more fun and you will feel more satisfied if you select parts while keeping in mind these seemingly inconsequential things.

The handlebars and stems are original A-Frame Cycle products.
A-Frame "REPLICA" Stem ¥49,500(incl. tax)

This is also a representation of the Cinelli Alter stem .
The fact that they are creating this kind of product in modern times makes me feel that they truly love fixed gear bike culture.
This stem comes in two sizes, 100mm and 120mm, and the 120mm one is used for this customization.
I think this stem looks cooler if it's longer.
Another nice thing about this product is that the headset that comes with it is a WHITE INDUSTRIES product. It's great that it comes with such a great headset.

A-Frame Titanium Riser Handlebar ¥44,000(incl. tax)

And here's one point I definitely want to tell you.
Front and rear brake hole + internal guide design.

This part was specially made to comply with Japanese traffic laws.
A-Frame Track only has one store in Japan, in Osaka .
Currently, there is only one frame of this specification in the world.
There is a difference in the visual appearance when assembled with or without this feature.

To be honest, I think getting your first car can be a bit of a hurdle.
However, it is a good frame to think of as something you will use for life from the very first shot.
On the other hand, for people who own multiple bikes or are thinking about replacing their bikes, how about considering these frames?

Titanium frames are thought of as luxury items, and although they aren't cheap, I think the price is still attractive to those who understand that.

Recently I have been studying the material titanium, and I find it truly fascinating.
The fact that it can only be seen at the Osaka store may be a downside for those who want to see it, but if you're interested, please contact us in any way that is easiest for you, whether that be by phone or Instagram DM.

We also go into more detail about the design of this frame in the video, so please take a look.
