Honestly, it was love at first sight when I saw these.
CRUD CAPS, born in Chicago in 2015.
They are original valve caps handmade by Max, who works at a local bike shop.
【CRUD CAPS】 Valve Cap
Handmade in Chicago
For Schrader valves
1,400 JPY (excl. tax)
These painstakingly crafted caps are made one by one by disassembling figures that Max collected himself or found at thrift shops, and threading the heads of various characters to turn them into original valve caps. Each one has a charming personality all its own. Recently, he has also been using molds to create colorful hand-cast valve caps.
I’m sure you’ll find some familiar characters you recognize.
