Previously, we introduced narifuri's original complete bike, the CF02.
It's a somewhat unique cross bike with the design philosophy of "a complete bike that doesn't define completion."

Featuring elevated chainstays and sliding dropouts, the frame structure leaves plenty of room for future customization.
It's designed with the idea of changing riding styles later on, such as converting to single speed, internal gears, or belt drive.

This time, we received a custom request from a customer who purchased a CF02, and we'll introduce the actual build.

Custom example: CF02 finished for "daily use"

Practical customization designed around city riding

This customization is a build focused on ease of use for city riding.

The main goals were:
・Carrying capacity for luggage
・Equipment for riding safely in the rain
・Contact parts that prevent fatigue during long rides

This setup equips the bike with practical features that make it truly convenient for daily life.

However, it's not a specification that prioritizes practicality alone.

It's not an imaginative customization seen on social media, but rather one that's genuinely convenient for daily life and keeps the budget within a realistic range.

Despite this, it doesn't compromise the overall atmosphere and design of the bike. I believe this customization achieves a good balance.

While the CF02 offers great room for customization, this particular build creates an image of a "CF02 that you can comfortably live with every day."

Parts that enhance carrying capacity and daily comfort

A simple wire basket with a design that complements the slightly rugged frame of the CF02.
It's sized to fit convenience store purchases, shopping, or commuter bags, making it a very useful accessory for city riding.

This practical part reduces common stresses with bikes equipped with a front basket, such as:

・Handlebar turning when parked
・Handlebar wobbling when loaded with luggage

Equipment supporting daily use

Also, for everyday use,

GIZA PRODUCTS FI-119FR Fender Set

Fenders protect against mud splashes on rainy days or wet roads. Since they can be attached and removed without tools, they can be easily removed depending on the weather or how you use the bike, which is a convenient feature◎

GIZA PRODUCTS Adjustable Double Leg Center Stand CL-KA56

A center stand is excellent for bikes with baskets, as it allows for stable parking even when loaded with luggage.

A classic grip designed to support the palm evenly, reducing hand fatigue during long rides.

It creates just the right atmosphere for a city bike without being too classic.

Essential daily use equipment also added

Basic equipment for a daily use bike

Having essential equipment like lights, locks, and bottle cages makes it a "bike you can ride immediately whenever you think of it."

CATEYE AMPP500 HL-EL085RC (Black)

The front light has 500 lumens. We chose a brightness that can illuminate the road well not only in the city but also in areas with few streetlights, such as riverbanks.

ABUS BORDO LITE 6055C (Black)

The lock is a combination plate lock. In addition to its security performance, it comes with a dedicated case that can be fixed to the bottle cage mount, allowing for smart and unobtrusive carrying while riding.

TOPEAK Modula Cage 2 (Silver)

The bottle cage is an adjustable model that accommodates both race bottles and plastic bottles. It's a popular and practical item that can be easily used even by those who don't typically use race bottles.

The accumulation of such small equipment greatly influences the comfort of everyday use.

Summary: CF02 custom that fits seamlessly into daily life

A bike to grow with, not just a finished product

This customization is a bike built to the customer's specifications.

Rather than an imaginative customization seen on social media, this configuration includes genuinely convenient equipment for daily life and keeps the budget within a realistic range.

However, there's no need to consider this the "finished product." The interesting thing about the CF02 is that it can gradually change its form throughout your life.

For example, you might think, "I want to change the handlebars," or "I want to increase the cargo capacity a bit." As you use it, new ideas will naturally come to mind.

Of course, there's no need to force an upgrade of its specs. Enjoying it within the practical limits of your current lifestyle might be the most comfortable way to interact with it.

This current setup is one starting point. The CF02 is a bike that seems to suit the enjoyment of gradually becoming "your own" in everyday life.
