Vintage Nitto 155 Bars



Serious vintage Nitto hotness!

Model 155 from 1970s. Sure, the crest design is ripped right off from Cinelli but I'll give credit just because of the rarity. Everyone and their mother has Cinelli Criterium bars but not everyone has these.

Via Kentalog.

Metallico Super Bull



"Metallico Super Bull handle bar - black/white (nitto njs custom)

These amazing bull horn bars are the latest limited edition offering from Metallico, Japan.

Unlike the Tsuchinoko straight bar, that made Metallico famous in Japan, which is an original hand made bar design, the Super Bull starts life as a new Nitto B123 NJS drop bar!

The drop bar is customised at a small East Osakan workshop, an area famous in Japan for its hundreds of tiny 'kodawari' engineering, and small parts factories.

The Nitto NJS drop bar (steel) is cut down to a short bull horn length, and the ends are welded up with dome shaped cro-mo steel. The bars are then painted at the ex-3Rensho paint shop in Kansai, Japan.

I am very happy to be able to bring hand made products like this to my customers, in a time where it is very difficult for companies to justify doing things the old way!"

Available from Tracksupermarket.

Nitto Touring Front Rack



Again from TokyoFixedGear's Flickr.

"These racks are designed by US touring specialists Rivendell & made in Japan by Nitto. It goes with out saying that the quality is outstanding. Unlike most front racks these can be easily installed & have an expansion available."

Front racks are apparently somewhat fashionable in the fixie world right now, or so I've heard. Real bike messengers actually sometimes use them for delivering stuff...

Nitto Adjustable 'Sliding' Stem

Oooh, this is really fascinating. Ben's Cycle has somehow been able to dig up some vintage Nitto adjustable stems from 'the Nitto warehouse'. Well, besides being quite price-y at 400 bucks, it's actually pretty damn ugly too. It reminds me of this too. But what wouldn't you be prepared to pay for that 'the only stem you will ever need'...?

NITTO B263AA Mini Bullhorn Bar 300mm

New goodies from Nitto Tokyo. 

The narrowest bullhorn bar ever, 30cm. Designed for 25.4 stem clamp too, which is great news.
