The reason chromoly is actively used as a material stems from the fact that Bike Friday is a bicycle designed for world travel.

Chromoly has the advantage of absorbing vibrations from the road surface, making it less fatiguing for long-distance rides and allowing you to enjoy your ride right to the very end.
Additionally, due to the nature of a folding bike, it requires high durability to withstand repeated folding, and the fact that it can be repaired by welding if it breaks while traveling are also key reasons for adopting chromoly.

To this day, every Bike Friday frame is meticulously crafted by hand at our own factory in Eugene, Oregon, from welding to painting, just as it has been since the company's inception.

Furthermore, most models are custom-built to order based on the rider's specific body measurements. That is what makes Bike Friday a handmade custom folding frame. Another crucial point is that in the unlikely event of damage, we offer repair support whenever possible.

Longevity—this might go against the grain of the modern lifestyle, where constantly buying new things has become the norm, but we believe it is a fundamental value. We believe that everything we stand for at Circles is encapsulated in these words: longevity.

The folding mechanism on the frame is basically a one-touch operation using a quick-release lever.

Depending on the model, not just the frame, but also the handlebars and saddle are designed to be detachable or foldable, all carefully crafted with consideration for ride performance, usage, and storage efficiency.

On many folding bikes, the folding mechanism is the first part to break. The way this area is constructed clearly shows that Bike Friday is committed to creating bikes that are built to be loved and used for a long time.

Where does the stress go when riding a bike? What kind of folding method is the easiest to use? What materials will make it longer-lasting and more reasonable?

The answers to these questions were likely not found overnight.
However, I believe the result of that relentless pursuit is the reason why these bikes are loved around the world. The story behind just the folding mechanism alone is endless.

At Circles, you can currently view models [2] through [5] in the store, with the exception of [1].

[1] and [2] allow you to choose your own stem. They are especially popular with those choosing touring bikes, as they allow for a variety of positioning options.

[3] and [5] feature a distinctive shape commonly known as the "goose stem." It is no exaggeration to say that this is the hallmark stem of Bike Friday.

It is easiest to think of this as an STI-compatible version of the H-bar mentioned earlier.
It can be used on New World Tourist or Pocket Rocket models equipped with road components.
While there are fewer hand positions compared to drop bars, it maintains the overall styling even when choosing an upright riding position.

This new handlebar, developed for the latest Bike Friday All-Packa model, is designed for bikepacking, offering the stability to handle off-road and dirt terrain while also allowing for the attachment of handlebar bags.

The H-bar, primarily adopted for the New World Tourist, features a shape reminiscent of a classic flat handlebar equipped with nostalgic bar ends; while it is a flat handlebar, it allows the rider to change their posture by shifting hand positions while riding, making it well-suited for long-distance cycling.

It has a shape similar to a derivative of the H-bar, and while it allows for the use of bar ends or reverse brake levers, it can also be used just like a standard flat handlebar.

As the name suggests, it features a shape reminiscent of an upside-down H-bar, making it a perfect fit for commuter bikes like the Halu-A-Day.
It allows for an upright and comfortable riding position.

Bike Friday is a custom handmade bicycle. Based on measurements taken from the rider's physique, each bike is built one by one in Eugene, Oregon, after an order is placed.
