Hi, it’s Kaisei from Hatagaya store.<\/p>\n

Today, let me announce the restock of the frames a lot of you have been longing for.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

”LO PRO” and<\/strong>\u00a0”<\/strong>METROPOLITAN” from Affinity Cycles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Affinity Cycles” is a bike brand based in Brooklyn, New York and “Lo Pro” and “metropolitan” are they symbolic track frames. It’s been 2 years since last time we got them in stock.<\/p>\n

Let me write about Lo Pro<\/a> first. This time it came with the 3 colors.<\/p>\n

Cognac Brown\u00a0(Japan Limited Color)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Iridescent Grey<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Keirin Sparkle Black<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lo Pro is known as Affinity’s first product frame came out in 2007. The frame has been here for 17 years with some updates.<\/p>\n

I can easily imagine the distinctive pursuit shape frame was very sensational when it came out in the track bike culture back then.<\/p>\n

I also can imagine easily from the picture that Takuma is now obsessed with the thrill and excitement the frame gives him.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The geometry features the short wheel base and the sharp head angle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’m stoked to hear that the frame was born with a lot of feedbacks from messengers in New York.<\/p>\n

Maximum tire clearance is 35c.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next is “Metropolitan<\/a>” the one I ride too.<\/p>\n

It comes in 3 colors same as Lo Pro.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lilac Breeze (Japan Limited Color)<\/strong>\u00a0*only XS and S size<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Film Grain Black<\/strong>\u00a0*Only M and L size<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Keirin Sparkle Black<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Metropolitan is known as the frame made by Jason, the founder of Affinity’s respect for Keirin.<\/p>\n

The beautiful horizontal shape is very attractive. I was impressed when I rode it last time the frame got stocked.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Its wheel base is quite tight like Lo Pro. The thin and beautiful frame makes me feel really good when I cycle in the city.<\/p>\n

As MASH bikes are stocked too, I feel that 2024 will be a year of single-speeds and Fixies.<\/p>\n

-Metropolitan and I-<\/h2>\n

First, let me throw back when I built a Steamroller for my friend in Kagoshima in 2023.<\/p>\n

One night, we went for a ride in the city of Kagoshima. It was a such great night made me realize how riding fixed gears is fun.<\/p>\n
