A new friend from Belgium has arrived at Circles.
What is Belgium like?
What image comes to mind when you think of Belgium?
Belgian chocolate?
Belgian beer?
Belgian waffles?
These are the first things that come to mind, and it's all food.
Bicycles from a country like that.
You might wonder, "Are they any good?"
But in Belgium, cycling is so popular it's practically the national sport. It's home to one of my favorite classic races, the Tour of Flanders, and it's the birthplace of the legendary cyclist Eddy Merckx, who was once known as "The Cannibal."
What kind of brand is ACHIELLE?
In this "cycling powerhouse" of Belgium, specifically in a town called Pittem in the Flanders region known for its strong cycling culture, you'll find ACHIELLE.
ACHIELLE started as a local bike shop in 1946. Over the past 70 years, the bikes they made for their customers grew into a major bicycle brand.
With a philosophy of "Handmade in Belgium," they handle everything from manufacturing to assembly in-house. This allows them to provide high-quality bicycles and service.
The person on the head badge is the founder, Mr. Achielle. It is a testament to the fact that even after 70 years, they haven't forgotten their roots and continue to build bikes that cater to the people.
What kind of bikes are ACHIELLE bikes?
ACHIELLE doesn't have a lineup of typical road bikes or MTBs. They focus primarily on what you might call commuter bikes.
In Belgium, it's possible to customize the component assembly to fit the needs of the individual customer. Just as every person's life is different, so is the way they use their bikes and their individual preferences. They offer many options so that the bike you get is perfectly suited to you and can be used for a long time.
However, there are so many choices that it can be confusing. So, this time, we have selected a few models that we think are "The ones!"
【ACHIELLE】Ophelie
Price: 264,000 yen (tax included)
【ACHIELLE】Olivia
Price: 264,000 yen (tax included)
【ACHIELLE】 Oscar

Each model comes equipped with everything a commuter needs: an 8-speed internal gear hub, hydraulic disc brakes, belt drive, hub dynamo lighting, fenders, a kickstand, and a rack.
By the way, the stock models introduced here come in fixed colors, but it is also possible to choose colors for each model. We are currently working hard on a page for custom orders, but please feel free to contact us if you are interested.
High-quality frames and high-quality parts. The fine ride quality created by this combination is sure to turn your daily commute into something to look forward to.
Why not get the best bike for the pleasant season that is just around the corner?
