Nari Furi Visits Superb!

This Thursday Kazu from Nari Furi, a Japanese clothing and bag company we carry, stopped in and visited. Bringing gifts from Chari & Co NYC, the only other store in the US that carries Nari Furi.

We got to check out first hand the specs of the new Nari Furi X Bridgestone 60th Anniversary Collaborative bike, The Helmz. The Helmz is a flat bar aluminum road bike with aero tubing that is currently only available in Japan, but not if we can help it! Their Logo is one of the best designs we have also seen in a while.

Bridgestone describes the bike as, “…a new genre of bicycle known as the Speed Cruiser targeting street riders, and it represents the fourth model developed to commemorate Bridgestone Cycle’s 60th anniversary. It has been designed to promote the concept of [FASHION + BICYCLE] for both companies…”

The Helmz comes in 4 colorways with Sugino RD cranks, a drilled out chainring guard, flat bars with thumb shifters, Miche Supertype seatpost, and rims radial laced to god knows what… Get back to you on that one.

Kazu also pulled out his brand of unisex underwear, Betones. The “Be” is for The Beatles and “tones” is for The Rolling Stones. He gave us a couple of pairs which are amazing. Clean underwear and sick bikes, what else could you ask for?
