Hi, Cent from Blue Lug Yoyogi-park here.<\/p>\n

I currently own 7 to 8 ridable bikes. I’ve ridden many more bikes than that, but my new bike is somthing completely new to me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I couldn’t get this bike off from my mind. It had all the elements that I love on a bike so I had to get this one! It didn’t matter that I already have so many.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s what the frame looks like.<\/p>\n

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

Many of you may already have been interested in this frame.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t necessarily feel right to call this bike a “mini-velo”, but small wheel bikes have been becoming the new hot thing recently and I wanted to hop on the “trend”<\/p>\n

Velo Orange came out with the Neutrino<\/a> in 2018. These guys were way ahead of time! The 20″ Falconer was also insane.<\/a><\/p>\n

Many other brands started to release the same type of bikes after, but they really didn’t catch my attention. I’ve rode BMX from my early teens, so I think I my expectation for 20″ wheel bikes were quite high.<\/p>\n

Then, My favorite bike brand, Crust slapped me in the face with a ground breaking mni-velo frame. There were no reason for me to pass on this one.<\/p>\n

This is my Crust Bikes Stupid Tourist.<\/p>\n

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

*CRUST BIKES* stupid tourist canti brake (S)<\/a><\/p>\n

First and foremost, the frames are available in the canti version and the disc version. I chose the canti model.<\/p>\n

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

Choosing parts for this bike was so fun.<\/p>\n

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

White frame color with pink, purple, and yellow speckled all over. It looks really good with colorful parts, so I built this one up with a lot of colors for the first time in many years.<\/p>\n

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

Red headset with a blue cable hanger. I put the bike together with new and old parts that I owned. This is a perfect way to use canti brakes that are just lying in the parts box.<\/p>\n

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

New *CRUST BIKES* dynamo&rim brake 20″ wheelsets.<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the biggest part I bought for this build, other than the frame. The wheelsets are available in rim brake and disc brake.<\/p>\n

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

These wheelsets are light and sounds good. I don’t have anything to complain.<\/p>\n

This specific bike was designed to travel, but it’s works really well as a bike to get around daily, so putting dynamo lights make sense.<\/p>\n

Cyber Cranks and Chris King BB that I didn’t use to top off the build.<\/p>\n

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

This is a 20 inch wheel bike that has the Ritchey Break-Away System. It’s more than a commuter than a bike to get rad on.<\/p>\n

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

Crust is a brand that has a BMX back ground, but I love that they made a bike less ideal for tricks. If you wanna do tricks, get a BMX.<\/p>\n

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

I personally do not no if I would use the Break-Away system, but I’ll just have it up my sleeve as a secret move.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The bike apparently fits in a suite case like the image above. Again, I don’t know if I’d be traveling, but things are going to be fun and easier if I am.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I know I said this bike isn’t for tricks, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t do them.<\/p>\n

I’m very stoked on Crust’s first 20 inch bike. I love how it looks, love how it rides, and love that I can now travel with a bike. I now have 5 Crust bikes. Could I be the person who owns the most Crust bikes in the world?<\/p>\n

Come and see and ride the bike at the Yoyogi-park store!<\/p>\n
