A collaboration with "CARTEL BIKES." A vintage-inspired ride | bal

Chromoly frame balances suppleness and strength
"bal" offers products that incorporate various cultures, based on the concept of "proposing high-quality modern casual wear and graphics rooted in urban life." Their output extends not only to apparel and accessories but also to bicycles.
This marks the second collaboration with "CARTEL BIKES," the original brand from bicycle shop "DINER." The inspiration comes from the city bikes that gracefully navigate Italian streets. The frame shape with its sloped top tube is called a "step-through frame," making it easy to mount and very comfortable to ride.
The color, known as Dune Gold, is a pale gold inspired by desert sand. With its promenade-style handlebars, tires, and cantilevers, every part has been overseen by bal, resulting in a vintage-inspired bicycle.
