The Radavist

I always enjoy seeing articles and photos like this, and I’m sure you feel the same. Kinoko Cycles visited the Tokyo School of Cycle Design and the article looks great:

“During my last trip to Japan I was invited by Shin Ichi Konno of Cherubim Cycles to visit the Tokyo School of Cycle Design where he teaches twice weekly. You would assume with something as common as a bicycle, a object which exists in every village and town across the globe and requires very specific skills to design and manufacture, that colleges teaching cycle design would be common. But this is not the case.”

Over the past few months, Tokyo Fixed has been working on a complete redesign and restructuring, beginning with new kits that are in stock now at Kinoko Cycles.

Check out the new kits below!

... and focusing solely on their online store. I'm bummed to read this because I thought Kinoko was one of the nicest shops I've been to and the team at Kinoko are so rad.

At any rate, read on below and I wish the guys the absolute best!

There’s something inherently seductive about a painted titanium frame, especially when it’s painted black, with matching ENVE components. Head over to the Kinoko Cycles Flickr to see more and remember, if you’re in London, Kinoko is the place to go for America metal!

This was too good to just tack onto the previous entry!

London-based frame builder Saffron Frameworks recently had this bike painted by none other than Death Spray Custom. Coincidentally, this stainless steel road bike won Best in Show at Bespoked last weekend.

Head over to Kinoko Cycle’s Blog for more!

For 2014, Kinoko gathered their best bicycle photography and compiled a calendar. The best part is, it’s free!

“Kinoko Cycles Calendar 2014. Featuring beautiful photographs of some of our favourite bikes that came and went through the doors of our London store during 2013. From full custom Cherubim tourers to stock model Surly CX bikes, there’s something to tickle everyone’s fancy, all shot beautifully by master bicycle photographer and location scout Bobby Whittaker.”

Kinoko Cycles really nails it with this one. Check out more details on this fantastic print here!

I really like these two photos that just hit the Kinoko Cycles blog, featuring Josh and the new Dart V2. That bike looks like a lot of fun!

Kinoko Cycles just got in their newest Dart track bike stock. 44mm head tube, oversized tubing and sick paint designed by Will Rei. Look, this is one of the sickest steel track bikes on the market. Don’t fuck around, pick one up at Kinoko Cycles!

Kinoko Cycles has a fresh new stock of Tokyo Fixed shirts in stock. These two are my favorites, but you can see the rest here or pick one up here.

Kinoko Cycles isn’t messing around. Their stock keeps growing with gems like this Independent Fabrication Ti and carbon Factory Lightweight. I’ve always loved the integrated seat tube collar (44rn Design) and race-inspired paint schemes. Check out more clean shots at the Kinoko blog.

Tokyo Fixed is still alive and well inside Kinoko Cycles. The shop’s in-house frames sold so well this year that they just restocked. That includes the popular Death Spray Custom collaborative frame the Ono, one of the best production track frames in my opinion! Holler at Kinoko for ordering!

As an architect, I can really enjoy looking through photos of the new Kinoko Cycles space. I’ve always wanted to design a complete bike shop, from the floorboards to the millwork and it looks like the designer went to town on the buildout. As part of any successful project, photos are of the utmost importance and the shots on the Kinoko Flickr look great. One day I’d love to check out the space in person!
