One of kind custom stainless steel gravel bike handmade in Taiwan by Rikulau. Stiff, responsive and compliance thanks to her unique geometry and carbon fork. Beautiful craftsmanship with matching graphics and Chinese calligraphy. There is simply no other bike like this.
I have been riding this bike for less than two years. It is also a joy to bring it out for a ride.
Who will love this bike? Someone who enjoys riding in a more relax over long distance, someone who love shining frame that doesn't rust, someone who like Asian infused graphics and someone who appreciate beautiful workmanship.
