This post started with a question from my dad. I was telling him about a trip I had made to my local bike shop to double check some repairs I had done that I wasn't overly confident in. When I was there the staff were interested in the bike and asked me lots of questions. ‘Why?’ my dad, not unreasonably asked. ‘Is it a very expensive bike?’
For some reason telling my dad that I had seen an Instagram post from a Japanese cyclist who was documenting a coffee club he had started and I thought to myself, ‘I should build a bike with handlebars like that' didn't seem very clear. It is not an expensive bike, but I thought I would write down what my latest project was because to a bike nerd, it is a little odd.
