Chrome Kinfolk
Super nice clean & classic build of an all-chromed Kinfolk. All of the Kinfolk frames built by Kusaka-san just look so good.

Kinfolk Road Bike
You already probably saw this everywhere but it is nice so I'm posting it too. Apparently it's the first road bike Kusaka-san built under the Kinfolk brand. Clean and classic. But remember also that this is not the first road bike he has built.
See the whole Flickr photoset here.

Kinfolk Bicycles

I already posted about these but head over to their site, the bikes look mad nice.
"As many of you know, The Ways&Means team has been working on something very special for the past year. And after lots of teasing and sneak previews...It's ready for the public. Kinfolk bicycles are finally for sale. We are really stoked to be working with Kusaka, master frame builder from kansai, japan. It is a real honor that he would choose us to represent his 4 decades of crafting these awesome bicycles. Our goal was simply to produce the bike we would be excited to ride, and I think we knocked it out of the park. We hop you think so too. In addition to Kusaka's beautiful steel, we also offer paint by America's finest bicycle painters, Coat of Portland, Oregon,and ColorFactory, based on the beautiful Jersey Shore. The design is what you would expect from Ways&Means, and to top it all off, we have a classy headbadge designed by our main man, Marco Hernandez, of Lit Fuse tattoo in Beautiful Olympia, WA. Good times.
We have lots of new stuff coming over the summer. We're building a collaboration bike with the Bike shop Chari&Co. that is gonna be hot! So stay tuned.
Enough talk though... head over to www.kinfolkbicycles.com and see them for yourself. And even if you're not in the market for a custom track bike, spread the word. It's the support of our friends that has got us this far, and we appreciate all of the help, motivation, advice,and interest that you all have given us. That's why we called this project Kinfolk. It's all about family."

Kinfolk Bicycle Co // Kusaka-San

The Kinfolk Bicycle Co. boys in Tokyo have a new webpage open for ordering those nice custom track frames, hand-built with love by Kusaka-san in Kansai, Japan. "Keirin Inspired Track Frames". I like that. And I also had to post below two pics of the master building in his workshop.
