Lit Trove Original Custom Bike | A bike for enjoying "city riding + a little extra" (test ride outlet)
Based on the Lit Trove, a reinterpretation of Japan's unique "mamachari" (utility bike), this classic custom model smoothly connects city life with detours.
It's a bike you can ride without a care, inspiring you to take a long way home. That's the feeling this Lit Trove Original Custom Bike naturally evokes.
Whether it's leisurely cruising through the city or taking a detour down an interesting alley, this bike is designed to make your daily commute more free and more uniquely yours.
The base is the "Lit Trove," an urban cruiser that reinterprets Japan's unique "mamachari culture" for modern times. With a stable design based on 26-inch MTB standards and high expandability, it naturally adapts from city riding to light outdoor use.
For this custom build, we combined a BROOKS leather saddle, gum-colored grips, a NITTO rack, and HONJO fenders, achieving a well-balanced blend of classic atmosphere and practicality.
The light rolling and stability provided by the FAIRWEATHER for cruise tires are also appealing, allowing you to enjoy everything from city stop-and-go to slightly rough roads with a reassuring feel.
It avoids being overly ornate, yet still possesses a distinct "atmosphere." If you're someone who cares about your bicycle as much as you do your clothes, this custom bike will naturally suit you.
This is an outlet model that was used as a test ride bike. It's in good condition, allowing you to enjoy a complete custom configuration as-is.

This custom is designed for adding on "as needed," rather than starting with a large, fixed basket.
It strikes the perfect balance for carrying a small load during city rides or extending your journey a little further, seamlessly fitting into your everyday life.
The ride quality is also typical of the Trove, offering a relaxed and reassuring feel. The stability inherent in 26-inch wheels makes stop-and-go riding in the city quite natural.
I believe it's "a bike that gently expands your daily life," appealing to those who feel "a regular utility bike isn't enough, but I don't want something as formal as a sports bike."
