The bike in the photos is one I just finished building the other day.
The KONA / Dew is a hybrid city bike that we at Circles confidently recommend as a perfect first bike.
Unusually for a bike of this type, it comes stock with 650B wheels, allowing for comfortable and speedy travel. It’s not just for daily commutes to work or school—you can even head out for a bit of light touring on the weekend.
Once you hop on, the simple act of getting around turns into a fun cycling experience. We suggested this particular build for a customer's daily commute.
Since it will be used every day, we installed fenders from the start so it can be ridden safely even in the rain. We installed the Smooth 62(650B), which fits perfectly with the 650b x 47mm tires.
With these, you can enjoy your daily bike life comfortably, rain or shine!

The Smooth 62 fits a wide range of bike styles, from big tourers to daily commuters, and is compatible with tires like the 650b x 47mm or the 26×1.95″ Homage. We’ve restocked the 650B size, which is in particularly high demand domestically!
【SIMWORKS BY HONJO】 Turtle58
Silver : 8,800 JPY (excl. tax)
Black : 10,300 JPY (excl. tax)

The Turtle 58, which fits tires like the Volummy 700x38c and 27.5×1.75″, as well as the 650b x 43mm Homage, has also had its 650B size restocked after being out of stock.
While we can provide guidance on fender and frame compatibility based on our past installations, checking the actual bike is the most reliable way to be sure. Please feel free to reach out to us for advice on finding the right size for your bike, or for help with installation!
