The 2011 models from various brands are starting to trickle in, and
from the cutting-edge brand "All-City," founded in 2009,
we’ve received one masculine machine.
All-City “Nature Boy” complete bike
49cm awesome lime green ¥98,700
The Nature Boy, released by All-City as a 2011 model,
is a steel single-speed cyclocross bike.
What do you think? Pretty cool, right?
It comes standard with a CANE CREEK S-3 headset.
Because you have to carry the bike when hopping over chicanes in cyclocross races,
the brake cable is routed through the top tube with that in mind.
It makes for a clean, sleek look as well.
The rear hub is a flip-flop hub, so you can also enjoy it as a fixed gear.
Also, it gets bonus points for having discreet rack mounts hidden away,
perfect for daily use.
The dropouts are stylish, which is just classic All-City.
This bike would undoubtedly be a great asset for the annual Circles FSCX,
and it handles great for everyday city riding, too.
And considering you’re getting this complete bike for under 100,000 yen...
I highly recommend it.
The Nobeyama Cyclocross is coming up next weekend,
(by the way, I’ll be competing in the Suzuka 8-Hour Enduro this weekend),
so it really feels like the cyclocross season is in full swing.
I have a feeling our own FSCX might be starting up soon, too?!
