Circles celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, but CHRIS KING, with more than twice that history, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2026. The 50th Anniversary model, which has been available in limited quantities to commemorate this milestone, will be discontinued after the final order period ending in late November 2026.
In a blog post published ahead of the 50th anniversary, Circles expresses its deep appreciation for CHRIS KING. Unswayed by trends, taking responsibility for its own processes, and creating products designed to be used for a long time through repair—and continuing to view people, land, and culture as one. Circles holds the utmost respect for this unwavering commitment. We hope you will take the time to read it as well.
Place Your Final Order with Circles!
With Polish Gold discontinued last year and the 50th Anniversary model now being phased out, it will become quite difficult to acquire a CHRIS KING product in gold from now on. Gold is particularly regrettable because it is distinctive yet blends naturally with a wide variety of frame colors and parts.
It is more than just a limited-edition color; it is a color that marks CHRIS KING's milestone of 50 years of craftsmanship. Because it is something that can continue to be used for a long time through repeated repairs, choosing it now has its own special meaning. If you have been interested, please do not miss this final opportunity.
Backorders will be accepted until 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 29, 2026.
Arrival dates vary by model, but they are expected to arrive between February and March 2027. Please look forward to their arrival.
Items currently in stock at Circles can be shipped immediately.
Please note that cancellations and changes to orders will not be accepted after the backorder deadline.
To welcome something into your life that you can continue to use for years to come on this 50th-anniversary milestone—that, too, is one way to support the future of CHRIS KING's craftsmanship.
