Jitensha Studio's focus is hand made frames designed by owner Hiroshi Iimura and built by his choice of frame builders in Japan. These range from full custom to limited production models, though all are hand made to the highest standards. Frames range from fixed gear to sport touring, to full-on touring bikes with racks, fenders and lighting. Our Ebisu frames offer a more affordable solution while those who want the ultimate can order a Toei custom frame.

Over the more than 25 years since he opened the shop, Hiroshi has designed every kind of bicycle including road racing bikes, tandems, track bikes and utility bikes, but these days most of the our customers are interested in touring bikes in all their varieties. Because there are so many different purposes and possiblilties, there are a lot of choices to make. It can be overwhelming trying to decide what fittings and braze-ons to include, what tire size, and what components to use. There are so many ways to make choices that conflict with one another or compromise the strength or handling of the bike. Working with you to help you make the best choices and end up with the best bike for your intended purpose is our goal.

Bikes from Jitensha Studio are notable for their truth to purpose and clean, elegant looks. That is Hiroshi's real mission and talent.
