Note the detail in the beginning with the frame bending, the tubes are filled with ice to prevent distortion wile bending.

It looks like a good factory bike with a unique design. But it's hard to say it's a handmade bike. Handmade bikes mean that they have custom-made (bespoke) frames, usually welded by hand.

[@high-rice]

Обычный городской велосипед. Довольно примитивный по конструкции. Нет ни гидравлики, ни электроники. Материал рамы алюминий. Не карбон. Из ручной работы только сборка, а она всегда ручная, на любых велосипедах. Не понятно что тут может быть дорого. Что за бренд? Ноунейм какой-то. Но, среди дешевых байков он выглядит довольно элегантно.

Needs alot of help.. 1.) Greese ,all threads and mating surfaces. 2.)multi butted tubes , for more strength and lighter weight. 3.) Built in chain tensioners on the drop outs, can get after market bolt on . But this is custom hand made.. That's a few disappointments I noticed immediately. And this thing probably weights 30lbs. Even with lil 20 " wheels and single speed gear ,maybe it's a multi speed hub. Would like to see it set at a highet standard than bigbox bikes... but think these day everything is in a junk mindset..

看起來還算不錯，但只有兩、三個遺憾。 1.煞車線沒有做「藏線」的設計，破壞了整體車架設計。 2.沒有融入電力驅動設計，實用性打折。 3.沒有設計擋泥板，也是實用性打折。

Does the term "Hand-made" have a different meaning in japan? Tube benders, robot welders and laser engravers. I'd call it more hand assembled.

[@CatTerrist]

No it wont. Modern carbon blows steel outta the water for durability and longetivity

[@Trek_Rail]

How many carbon bikes have you warrantied?

[@SauronsEye]

@Trek_Rail. Beauties? Did you see all that old technology on such an expensive bike. They charge $3000 aud for them but do agree, it should outlast a carbon bike. Carbon seems to crack a lot. I'm pretty sure that carbon bikes crack because the epoxy degrades over time and can't hold the carbon fibers together forever.

[@Trek_Rail]

@@SauronsEye I find the beauty in the simplicity. The cost is the cost. If you can spend 1000’s on a pair of shoes, what’s a few 1000 on a bike. My 24k $$ trek rail will sure be long gone before this thing rusts!!

Там в кадре есть банка со смазкой. Просто в видео нет артикуляции на этом.

[@user-tl9nm1yw1j]

Всё что нужно несомненно смазано и смазано соответствующей смазкой. Процесс нанесения смазки, я думаю, немного испортил впечатление от волшебного процесса создания такой красоты. Если так придираться, то можно сказать, что рама слишком мягкая без верхней трубы. Этот велосипед создан не для рекордов.

I regret that many of the comments about this bike are sarcastic because of the false title, "handmade bike". In fact, it is mostly made in Japan except for the saddle and shifter. mikashima, sugino, diacompe...... precision and beautiful parts. By the way, it weighs 13 kg. It is expensive, but I think it could be a template for a product that prioritizes design above all else.

[@joaopaulobrasil2361]

[@serafinacosta7118]

The moment you add a robot to the frame welding ,it ceases to be “artisanal bike production “ as the Portuguese Title falsely implies. The shop might be owner operated , it could be CAD drawn for documentation purposes , yet the Portuguese title is misleading.

[@boNOOBod]

No grease on the headset bearings or the BB thread. Master craftsman my arse.

[@AlbionSupreme]

That made my soul cringe too. I was hoping it was just a test fit and that stuff would be added later

[@SingaporeUntold]

No torque wrench either. At times you know the Japanese like to faff about. For example 50 year training sushi chef. So what’s the difference from a chef training a year? Sometimes I think it’s a culture thing. It feels like they are taking pride in their work but missing details you expect in precise assembly

I was into BMX Bikes when I was a Kid, and knew all or most of the top end race Bikes. Kuwahara being one of them. They weren't as popular as Redline, Diamond Back, Mongoose, and GT. If Kuwahara made regular road/recreational bikes, they didn't import them to the US. The BMX was relatively rare compared to others, I only seen factory teams ride them. That was in the 80's.

[@jean-lucsanchez693]

Pour fixer les poignées sur le guidon je ne mets pas de lubrifiant qui n'arrivera jamais à ce que ça tienne correctement avec le risque de rotation, par contre je vous recommande de vaporiser de la laque à cheveux dans la poignée avant de la glisser sur le cintre, une fois séchée elle collera parfaitement la poignée sur le tube, par contre pour le démontage il suffit d'insérer la lame d'un tournevis pour décoller la poignée et de vaporiser un lubrifiant dans l'espace ainsi créé, faire tourner et tirer la poignée qui glissera facilement.... To fix the handles on the handlebars I do not use lubricant which will never ensure that it holds correctly with the risk of rotation, however I recommend that you spray hairspray in the handle before sliding it on the hanger, once dried it will stick the handle perfectly to the tube, however for disassembly you just need to insert the blade of a screwdriver to remove the handle and spray a lubricant in the space thus created, rotate and pull the handle which will slide easily....

What a funny old country Japan is. Considered to be a highly advanced country that makes lot of electronic devices. Look at their bullet trains, amazing. Then we see in this video robots welding bike frames but then they use a lot of old technology on the bike and the assembler doesn't even have an air compressor to pump up the dozens of wheels he'd have to inflate on a daily basis. What is going on? Sure, there's a lot of charm in the old ways, like rickshaw rides for the tourists and tea ceremonies but let's be real, the good old days were never as good as they are now. We are ever evolving with our technology, which makes things constantly better, we should embrace that. So to that end, since they use a lot of old tech on their bikes, I wouldn't call them high end. Charging $3,000 aud for a bike doesn't make it high end. It's a rip off, unless they justify the price by paying their staff extra well. Otherwise, I think it's real value is at most $200 aud.
