We had much rain last month in Tokyo, but September is supposed to be the best season to ride bikes. Seems like new owners knew when the best season would come when they’ve ordered. Let’s see what we built this month.

The first bike is Surly disk trucker. The owner is a lady and she wanted a bike not only for everyday use, but also for a local cyclocross race she will attend. She got wheels and some components from her husband’s old MTB, and yes! These fit perfect!

For daily use, Nitto M-1B and the Wald 137 basket are the perfect match.

The riser handlebar makes the bike look like MTB. Our 10th anniversary product, Knog x Blue Lug Oi classic bell and Chris King headset are the same color. The tires are Panaracer’s masterpiece, Mach SS. These are smooth on the road but can be used for a cyclocross race.

Shimano Zee component and Sugino / Fairweather CX crank are classic looking.

MKS panda pedals are match with the crank and chain ring.

Her husband, who is a bike geek gave her an advice about the parts, and she chose its colors.
It is amazing that Surly bike can respond her requests; the touring bike, but can wear the MTB racing tires.
This bike is fresh!

One of the most popular frames of us, Surly steamroller is the single-speed bike. A simple mechanism is easy to maintain. Looks solid too. *SURLY* steamroller complete bikeNitto B352 albatross bar is great for cruising in the city.*SURLY* steamroller complete bike

The headset is Chris King, and the Free cog is white industries. This is a great city cruiser. I also want to get one of these.

The last one is Surly cross check painted in Cook paint works. All other parts are silver, which enhance the beautiful red paint.

The stainless steel Philwood headset is a great choice. The top cap is super shiny.

End shifters are installed on Nitto B356 M’s bar. OURY grips are on point. Sim Works’s Volummy has a nice peanuts color skinwall and the cute logo. 32c is just the right size.

Yes, other MKS lambda pedals!

I heard the owner works in the cars industry so he knows how to build a beautiful bike.

 

Even though these bikes are very different from each other, the all owners have a good taste.

You can see a lot more bikes we build on Build By Blue Lug Catalog (it’s only Japanese now)!

Thank you and see you next time!
