Kinfolk

I’m a sucker. Buy me dinner and I’ll take your photos.  That’s what my good friend Chris Nixon did in order to get his shots done with his new Kinfolk bicycle.

Kinfolk is best described as a bicycle atelier out in Nakameguro.  Each bike frame is built to order and hand-made by 70-year old master craftsman Shuichi Kusaka. With a minimalist aesthetic and an emphasis on technical simplicity, the result is a very nice-looking bike that’s built to last.  Check out their page here: http://www.wegotways.com/kinfolkbicycles/, and if you have time go to their head office in Nakameguro and order a mojito; at night the place turns into a bar where all sorts of interesting people congregate.  http://www.wegotways.com/kinfolk/
