Such a stunner. There’s something mesmerizing about the simplicity of this bicycle. Red is usually a big turn off to me as a bicycle color, but here it overcomes its frequency. Similarly, the threaded headset, downtube shifters and other vintage touches could tip the scales to being a vintage piece. But it all hangs together: simple, functional and elegant. You can just get a sense of the flourishes in the last picture: internal cable routing and the custom stem are small flourishes that (i know, here we go again) add to the overall picture rather than distract. Man, do I love Toei’s bicycles.
