Culture Club, which had been closed while the NAHBS crew was in the U.S., has reopened with Kamo-chan standing at the shop. Kamo-chan, who is a track kid but also has a past of touring extensively with his cycling club during his student days, is already seeing many young people coming to visit him, which makes us very happy.
If you're a student on spring break or planning a tour, please be sure to stop by Culture Club. Of course, our neighbors at Pine Fields Market also have coppé-pan sandwiches, baked goods, and coffee ready for you, so feel free to drop by!
On this day when warm news of spring has arrived, the workshop here at Circles is also fully operational, supporting everyone's daily lives with services such as repairs for everyday bicycles, including mamachari.
Tomoyan is preparing some sort of ATB.
This is a component swap to Di2 now that the CX season has ended. It's a slightly unusual combination: using hydraulic disc STI levers to operate the rear derailleur of an XT mountain bike component set. We've also switched to tubular wheels, so we're fully prepared for the 2017-2018 CX season.
We are a bit backed up with work at the moment, so there may be times when you have to wait a little longer for delivery, but please feel free to consult us about bicycles for your new life, advice on spring apparel, or even advice on your love life!
As for the shop, items from The Athletic that we brought back by hand carry the other day are already lined up in the store.
New colors have joined our wool-blend Elevation socks. While they are asymmetrical, they feature a subdued color scheme, making these socks great for cycling, hiking, running, and of course, everyday life. You can wear them year-round, except during midsummer.
Along with these, a wool fabric baseball cap has also joined our lineup. Based on high-quality caps made in California by FairEnds, these were customized by Jeremy Dunn in The Athletic's unique style—the exquisite color choices are fantastic. The Athletic continues to create not just socks, but a variety of other items that can be used for rides and various other scenes. Their momentum shows no signs of stopping, so if you're interested, don't miss out!
