As you know, we\/BLUELUG carry tons of products.
\nSome of are imported, some of are made in Japan, and some of are\u2026 I don\u2019t know where are they come from.<\/p>\n

From now, I\u2019d like to start series of \u201cSTAFF\u2019s pick”<\/p>\n

Every series I will pick up one of our staff, and featured himself and his favorite products from shop.<\/p>\n

This time, I offered\u2026 Mr. Sow Kaneko!!\"\"Name: Sow Kaneko<\/p>\n

Occupation: BLUELUG HATAGAYA store mechanic<\/p>\n

He rides SURLY steamroller with 650B wheels. (Crazy assemble, but I really like it!)
\nDropper seatpost, NITTO sample handle, 27.5\/650B x 47b tires, Zo bag pouch, dynamo front hub, and his custom frame pad\u2026 and more.
\nHis build is crazy, but creates rad bikes with good vibes.\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"The first product he choose is\u2026 his favorite handle, NITTO B802 HT riser bar (720mm)\"\"\"\"\"\"He likes this laid back style. <\/a><\/p>\n

His second pick is\u2026 BLUELUG Original Backpack \u201cThe Day Pack\u201d<\/a>
\nMost of our staff have one of them. His favorite is Pine Green with brown suede bottom.\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"Yes!! PAUL components<\/a> are Always his favorite.\u00a0It\u2019s like a goldmine for bike geeks\"\"\"\"\"\"Frame pads<\/a> are his favorite too. Remind him a decade ago, when fixed gear movement came out, and he got into fixed gear, bike messenger, and bicycle culture deeply.
\n\"\"\"\"Here is the side-story,<\/p>\n
