[SIMWORKS / DOPPO] A story so true it sounds like a lie!! We've built an incredibly special bike.

　
How’s it going, it’s JUS.

The other day, my wife requested an air conditioner cleaning service for our home, and the technician who showed up was a beautiful blonde Russian woman. This isn't a lie. It's the truth. I’m sure you’re thinking, "Come on! You’re exaggerating, right?!" And that’s fair enough. When you ask for an AC cleaning, you naturally expect some guy in work clothes to show up, right? Even if you stretched your imagination, you wouldn't expect a beautiful blonde Russian woman to appear.

Wait, is this a prank? Did my wife call the wrong place? Is it an early birthday present? I was thinking "No way, no way, no way..." when she started explaining the situation and the work process in very fluent Japanese: "The temperature is set too low~ water is dripping~ the humidity is~ high~..." After that, she deftly strapped on her work belt over her slender waist, quickly tied up her long blonde hair with a rubber band, and got to work in an incredibly efficient and careful manner. She fixed the dripping water, and the AC is now cooling better than ever. Thank you. And I’m telling you, it’s really not a lie.

Anyway, moving on to another topic, our 2018 SUMMER STORM SALE!! started on July 28th, offering up to 30% off in-store items (with some exclusions). Since I was so surprised the other day, I wanted to give you all a pleasant surprise too, so I’ve built a special bike for this occasion and would like to introduce it!

¥240,000-＋TAX

Just as one follows their own path with conviction, we chase after unseen scenery and joys. "Independent walking" (Doppo)—that is exactly what riding a bicycle is all about. With the idea of doing everything from daily rides to touring with gear loaded up, I built this with a parts assembly meant to be ridden comfortably for as long as possible.
　

For the cockpit, you can't go wrong with the golden combo of the SIMWORKS BY NITTO / Getaround Bar and Tomboy Stem. It promises stable handling for everything from lazy city cruising to gravel rides.

It comes standard with the SIMWORKS BY NITTO / Potluck rack, which almost everyone chooses when ordering a Doppo. Leave it to this bike for picnics or camp touring with your gear loaded up.

The drivetrain is SRAM NX. It’s the now-standard 1x11 system. With a single front chainring, a wide-range sprocket, and an MTB rear derailleur, this bike doesn't care what the road throws at it. The tires are the road-plus standard: WTB / Horizon 650x47B. Providing air volume that won't budge even on rough roads, yet rolling comfortably on pavement, these tires perfectly match the Doppo concept.

Whether for your first bike or if you are looking for your next one, this is a multi-purpose machine that we at Circles believe is the perfect Doppo ATB complete build! The hot days are continuing, so I hope you’ll stop by the shop and see the bike in person. The size is S, so it will fit someone around 160–170cm.
　
Of course, we are more than happy to suggest bikes that perfectly fit your lifestyle and what you want to do, and we also welcome consultations on custom wheel builds. Don’t miss this opportunity! The sale runs until the 6th, and we look forward to seeing you all!
