A beautiful made-to-order Panasonic road bike

Local rider Terry came to us with this gorgeous, brand new Panasonic road-bike frame, welded just for him through Panasonic's famous made-to-order framebuilding system. Check out the factory visit in the video below, it's super cool!

For those who don't know, yes this is the same Panasonic that's made batteries, turntables, etc you've encountered before. They also happen to be a huge domestic bicycle manufacturer in Japan, mostly under the brand name "National". Since the 80's they've had an impressive ordering system for specifying your frame model, sizing, and colours.

This bike came to us as a frame and Campy groupset, and we supplied the rest of the components, along with our usually thorough assembly. The nice, fast Campagnolo wheels go perfectly with the drivetrain, while the classic-looking components we're known for really tie the bike together. 

Note especially the Cinelli Giro d'Italia handlebar with Nitto stem, a typical Italy-Japan mix like we've always loved. Terry borrowed one of our loaner saddles to try it out, which you can see in these pictures.

See below for pictures of the details, and don't forget to open the images in a new tab to really zoom in!

We're thrilled we got a chance to help you build your dream bike, Terry! Happy riding.
