CIELO by CHRIS KING Sportif Classic Original Complete Bike

CIELO carries on the philosophy of Chris King. To make its charm more accessible in the form of a complete bike, Circles has built this original complete bike.

It is based on the "Sportif Classic" frame, which was reissued with the official approval of Chris King. While respecting the original design philosophy, it is a special build featuring a fork manufactured by a domestic partner workshop and a wet paint finish applied by our in-house painting department, "Kyutai Paint."

The Sportif Classic was not designed to chase only speed.

It is meant to be a bike that fits naturally into any scene, from long rides and short tours to everyday commutes. Its greatest appeal lies in its lightness, stability, and supple ride quality that makes you want to keep riding for hours.

For this complete bike, we have carefully selected parts that further highlight its character.

The cockpit combines the SIMWORKS Wonderer Bar and Rhonda Stem for a relaxed position and nimble handling. Paired with the excellent grip and comfort of BROOKS Cambium Rubber Bar Tape, you can ride with confidence from city streets to long rides.

For components, we have adopted the highly reliable SHIMANO 105 R7000. It offers excellent shifting performance and brake feel, as well as great maintainability, making it a specification that you can ride day after day without worry.

The wheels are hand-built, combining VELOCITY Race Hubs with A23 Rims. They provide both light rolling on pavement and sufficient durability, firmly supporting the nimble performance of the Sportif Classic.

The tires are CONTINENTAL Gatorskin DuraSkin 700×32C. They offer excellent comfort and puncture resistance, allowing you to ride with peace of mind in a wide range of situations, from commuting to touring.

Furthermore, we have selected parts that are not only functional but also stylish, such as the FRAME CYCLES cork saddle and various SIMWORKS components. As a whole, the complete bike is finished with the classical, high-quality atmosphere characteristic of CIELO.

Whether you equip it with racks and fenders for touring, or use it as a light road bike for enjoying your daily life.

It is a bike you will want to keep riding for years and decades to come, changing its form to match your lifestyle.

Bringing the craftsmanship philosophy that Chris King has cherished to modern riders.

This complete bike is not just a reissue; it is a new standard to keep the story of CIELO running into the future.
