【CHRIS KING】 Splash Limited Collection

2024/3/16 石川大稀

Hello. This is Ishikawa from Circles Tokyo.

It’s been about two weeks since Circles Tokyo opened. Has it already been two weeks!? The days are flying by at an impossibly fast speed.

As you might be able to tell if you check out Eri-san’s blog, we have had many customers visit us since we opened, and we are just so happy about it.

We still have special items in store to bring joy to everyone. What I’d like to introduce this time is an item that many people have been showing interest in at the shop.

CHRIS KING Splash Limited Collection

I first learned about this Limited Collection last summer, when I was getting excited looking at photos of various bikes, parts, and the atmosphere at the venue taken by our team who went to the bike show MADE in Portland, Oregon. I spotted a bike from TOMII CYCLES,

and as my excitement grew—thinking how beautiful it was—I realized that there were CHRIS KING parts assembled all over it in a coloring I had never seen before that really stood out.

It featured a high-contrast look with a bronze base color and vivid turquoise as an accent layer.

What is this CHRIS KING coloring...!?

Splash designs on clothes and accessories can often end up looking a bit childish, making them hard to pull off. However, the elegance and luxury of this bronze match the laid-back, unique feel of the turquoise splash perfectly.

I immediately asked Shige-san, who had been there in person, and he told me that "MADE" was the debut for this collection, and it’s a limited release of only 50 sets worldwide. (A 3-piece set including Headset, Bottom Bracket, and Wheels.)

And only 5 sets are being sold in Japan. Just 5 sets, can you believe it?
And what’s more, they are only available at Circles and Circles Tokyo.

How special is that?

CHRIS KING is a brand leading the way in the manufacturing of the world’s highest quality bicycle components.

"Beautifully finished, durable, usable for as long as possible, with minimal environmental impact. And, if it breaks, it can be repaired."

Please take a look at Kimura-sensei’s past blog for the appeal of the CHRIS KING ARD44 Wheelset (or rather, the CHRIS KING company itself).

They are one of the brands we trust implicitly. That is the nature of this CHRIS KING Limited Collection.

Whether it’s for your next special build or for swapping out parts on your current bike, I highly recommend them. They will undoubtedly make your bike one-of-a-kind.

You can see them in person at the shop.
Don’t miss this opportunity.

※ Sold as a 3-piece set of Headset, Bottom Bracket, and Wheels.
(Consultations regarding changing the combinations are possible only at the Tokyo store. The Nagoya store and web shop cannot accept changes to the combinations.)
※ Prices vary depending on the type of Wheels.
