The first story... about our 2nd product.

 

For the 2nd time this year we welcome you to W.A.C.C aka ‘West Azabu Cycling Club’; established in the western part of Tokyo's Azabu area, and where we are based.

 


It is the many mysteries around us here in West Azabu that inspired us to create W.A.C.C, with the hopes that you will join us as we explore them.

 


Following the release of our ‘Always Maintain’ long sleeve t-shirt, I am happy to announce our latest creation the ‘Specular’.

 


We christened this cycle the ‘Specular’, as this best describes the bike's most distinctive feature it’s top tube, finishing the frame off in a clean bronze brown.

 


As a child, almost every Sunday, I use to take delight in exploring inner city London on my mountain bike with my sister and Father, so I wanted to recreate that nostalgic Sunday feeling every day, by giving the Specular’s parts a chrome finish, finally crowning it with triangular handlebars; known commonly as ‘bull moose’ handlebars, that were common sight on the mountain bikes I use to see in the late 80’s and early 90’s.

 


The ‘Specular’; elegant and distinctive whilst being individual and practical making it the perfect solution to urban mobility.

 

It's available now from Diner - in very limited quantities so you'd better be quick, we have already got the press gun firing:

 

 

More to come...

 

Black is back!

 

In our business demand can often be greater than supply, especially with our matte black 'Avenue Lo', definitely one of our staples:

 

 

Posted onto our Instagram today, and featuring Diner's original 50mm wheelset:

 

 

 

Elegant yet simple, with that subtle sporty feel...

 

 

It's no wonder why the matte black 'Avenue Lo' is always  in demand at places like Diner and other stockists nationwide:

 

 

 

Our matte black 'Avenue Lo' is available now from ¥79,920:

 

 

I can't lie things have been very busy over here at the Cartel..., but I will start by saying you can catch us in this:

 

 

 

You'd also better check out this very timely (if you can catch my drift) release from our friend Brassfoot:

Back from the silence once again!

 

With this long anticipated custom bike, which I posted on our Instagram last week with a promise to get it onto our blog for a more detailed look:

 

 

The clean and classic looks of the 'Avenue' meet the eye-catching carbon fiber wheels, in this case, we have Diner's original 3-Spoke, but as you should be aware we have several options for all your Carbon wheel needs:

 

Diner's sleek 4-spoke:

 

The aforementioned 3-Spoke:

 

Then we have our own originals for you to choose from like the C.B.3:

Which I used for a shoot we did late last year...

 

 

And finally our latest creation the C.B.3+

 

 

Carbon wheels make for an eye-catching collaboration....

 

 

 

But before you get the wheel you need to get the ride, right? 

 

Why not make it our 2017 'Avenue' for ¥59,400 - this one our Blue baby.

 

In recent times I have been finding the time to explore Tokyo a bit more like I enjoy, and in doing so ended up in Shimbashi ==>> Ginza:

 

 

Even our local Roppongi... but more on all that later.

 

 

I want to take out the time to big up our last guest DJ at Funktion... God Service's Watarude

 

 

I really enjoyed the tunes he spun and the general jokes he gave me along the ride; the highlight for me being when he was deep in the mix, you know like ocean deep with the current song and incoming song blended to perfection, and it was at this point he looked over to me with a smile and said "still going" followed by a chuckle...  

 

 

He also gave me the above record (thanks again).

 

 

Tonight we're anticipating Yoppi-san (seen below sporting the WACC L/S Tee)

 

 

And of course all you lovely people ...

 

 

Leaving you all with this song:

 

 

Tune in next time to find out about this:

 

 

Ciao.
