In the United States, there was once a professional wrestler known as Gorilla Monsoon. He was a power fighter who made the most of his massive physique, standing 196cm tall and weighing 158kg (in his prime). The bicycle we are introducing today was created with him in mind.
Its tire clearance, which seems to embody his presence, allows it to take on any road with boldness.

You might imagine a rather rugged image based on that alone, but the bike we are introducing today completely overturns that impression.

Wanting to go out as a couple

  • A bicycle that can be enjoyed leisurely like a stroll, taking in the scenery.
  • Stable enough to ride even when loaded with cargo.

These were the requests we received for this build.
The owner's husband also rides a bike, and this bicycle was created from their desire to go out together.

 

Leisurely with the SURLY Moloko Bar.

To ensure she can enjoy the changing seasons at a leisurely pace, we installed the Moloko Bar, which keeps the upper body upright and in a relaxed position. It allows for comfortable riding not only in the city but also on off-road paths like those along riverbeds. Plus, you can grip the handlebars in various places, making it easy to change your posture if you get tired.
Furthermore, by adding a bag specifically for the Moloko Bar, it becomes an "all-in-one" handlebar that even lets you snack while riding.

 

Self-generated power with a SHUTTER PRECISION dynamo hub

Charging your lights? You don't need to do that! Why not just use the power of your ride to generate electricity?
The dynamo hub is useful for various types of riding, from daily use to touring.
It's also highly recommended for those who tend to forget to charge their lights.

 

Go anywhere with the SIM WORKS Off The Road rack

For the rear rack, we assembled the SIMWORKS Off The Road Rear Rack, which seems to call out, "Camping? Touring? Traveling? Anything works!"
How reliable is that? It feels like you can load just about anything onto this one rack.
Add the RAL BG Loader, and you can even use it for your shopping trips.

We built this bike with the hope that the two of them will enjoy cycling together while seeing lots of beautiful scenery.

Here at Circles, we assemble bikes by packing in the owner's sentiments as well.
