When you think of Minneapolis, you probably think of that manufacturer famous for "Fatties Fit Fine," but there is another brand based in the same city called All City.

The All City crew stopped by during their Japan tour! @allcitycycles Thank you for visiting our shop. Have a good trip!! #allcityjapan #allcitycycles #circlesjapan

They visited Japan around the time of last year's Nobeyama CX for their Japan Tour and also stopped by Circles.
While the brand has roots in messenger culture, it now expresses various ways to enjoy cycling, including touring, cyclocross, and trail riding.

They also organize a race team called All City×Fulton Racing. In Japan, they enjoyed participating in the Nobeyama CX race themselves, but their motto is to build bikes that are not just pulled out of storage for weekend races or rides, but can be reliably used in daily life and enjoyed in all the various scenes that follow.

We have built up one of these All City "Space Horse" touring bikes.
To make city riding for commuting and shopping more comfortable, we installed fenders and chose 35c tires. Of course, it’s also great for short tours with a front rack on the weekend or for club rides. It is truly an All City bike—one you can get close to and live with.

All City “Nature Boy Disc” size:52cm 138,000 JPY (excl. tax)

The SSCX Nature Boy has been in the lineup from the beginning, but the Nature Boy Disc, newly added for the 2015 model year, leverages the simple fun of a single-speed and the stopping power of disc brakes, making it a bike you can enjoy for everything from daily rides to CX races.

Personally, I think it would also be a fun build as a dedicated city bike with an internal gear hub and fenders. We have the bike in the shop, so please come by and check it out.
