Bike Checks in Blue Lug Hatagaya
Hello! My name is Chuyan. I am a chief mechanic of Blue Lug Hatagaya. Let me show you what we built this month.
Surly Cross-Check is good at everything like an all-rounder player.
The handlebar is the Fairweather allroad bar, which is perfect for touring bikes and road bikes.
The stem is Nitto UI-2 with Nitto chromoly spacer, and the Fairweather cable hanger was installed. All the handle parts are the same material, chromoly, which makes it look fresher.
Continental GatorSkin tires are not too thick and too thin and that’s what I wanted. I always recommend 32c tires for Cross-Check because it gives smooth riding but still grippy and perhaps most importantly lasts very long. These are one of the most popular tires in Blue Lug.
The bar tapes and saddle are Brooks. The owner chose the same color as the frame, which I think it’s a great idea.
Hell yeah! I love this bike very much because this doesn’t look like a racing bike but can go really fast on this.
This Long Haul Trucker I built is a single gear bike. We use Surly singleator to make this bike single gear.
With the b903 bullmoose bar, the Long Haul Trucker looks like a 90’s mountain bike, doesn’t it? The tires are Panaracer Pasela 650c tires. Very cool.
The frame size is 46 and the owner is about 160cm tall. He said he would put a rack and mountain bike tires sometimes in the future. Sick! I can’t wait to see it!
We got an order this Long Haul Trucker from a cool guy, whose job is a high school teacher. He wanted a bike, which can be carried a lot of stuff and ridden comfortably.
This Surly frame is a long wheelbase and low position, which gives riding stable. The owner didn’t need a lot of gears so I chose 9 gears for him. Head parts are Chrisking and brakes are Paul Canti brake. The front rack is Pass and Stow.
Oh man! Can you imagine that your high school teacher rides this bike? So cool!
If you visit Blue Lug Hatagaya, you will see a lot of cool bikes like these. It will be our pleasure to welcome you to Blue Lug Hatagaya! I hope we will see you soon.
