Culture Club was overflowing with used parts, salvaged components, and frames gathered from all over—a treasure chest to those in the know.
Over the past ten years, we have shared the joy of learning to build our own bicycles while getting covered in grease at our rental pit, as well as the fun and the challenges of learning through trial and error.
Even though the physical shop is gone, we didn't want to lose the excitement of digging for parts yourself, finding them, and giving them a try.
Whether it's that part you’ve been curious about or a frame with a bit of character, it all starts with giving it a shot.
Welcome to Culture Club Online!
鏡瓶の中のマリオネット
CULTURE CLUB original bottles are back!
I felt the urge to break the rusted chain, pedal wherever I pleased,
cut through the swirling wind, and ride for myself.
Try pedaling your own path along those pure, white lines
that stretch out in every direction, untouched and free.
You have to decide your own path.
Following the rules? Oh, no, no! That’s just not for me.
CCB-001 CK Hub Fixed Gear Converter
I want to use Chris King hubs on my track bike.
Born from that simple, powerful desire, this is Culture Club’s first original product.
Based on the Chris King ISO AB Front Hub (Boost standard), we have converted it for 120mm track bike dropouts by combining it with a custom-designed axle shaft and spacers. Furthermore, a specialized track cog that utilizes the 6-bolt mount allows for fixed-gear use.
Free from existing rules, we turn what we want to do into reality.
This is a conversion kit born from the kind of vision that defines Culture Club.
I plan to add to the list little by little. Stay tuned...
What was Culture Club?
At Culture Club, we have dealt in new and used bicycle parts, as well as the accessories necessary for a cycling lifestyle.
Based on the experience we have accumulated over many years, we believe we have gathered items from both Japan and abroad that we truly consider to be "good." We have never placed much value on vintage status or rarity in and of themselves.
What matters is whether it can still be used properly today.
Whether it can make someone's cycling life a little better.
That was the standard by which we priced and displayed our items.
I believe Culture Club was not a place to display rare objects in an alcove, but a place to pass on and maintain items that still have a life to live.
