Finally meeting in person after two years.

There are some bikes that have finally been reunited with their owners after two long years. Two of them, at the same time, no less.

Rick Hunter, who diligently devotes himself to craftsmanship every day, approaches frame building without fear of change. He actively rearranges his workshop if it allows him to work more accurately or efficiently in his daily production process.

He also has a strong desire to challenge himself with new things, and recently he has even teamed up with SimWorks to bring a new handlebar design to life.

Even so, the things he creates are still packed with his unique personality—there’s a touch of spice amidst the gentleness—and when you see a bike fully built up like this and hop on it, that same unmistakable feeling comes through.

I think it’s a wonderful thing to know who made the bicycle you ride. While everyone surely has their own way of looking at a two-year wait, for those whose hearts have been captured by a man named Rick Hunter and the bikes he builds, it is, at the very least, a meaningful two years.

The frames Rick built crossed the ocean and were brought to life through paint by Kyutai and assembly by Circles. It was truly a reunion two years in the making. Thank you both so much for your patience. Let's go for a ride together soon!
