welcome to Kinfolk
Welcome to Kinfolk. After a lot of work, a few flights to Japan and back, many ginger mint mojitos, weeks of jetlag, 43 freshness burgers, and 8 inches of beard, we're happy to officially launch the Kinfolk Bicycle co. We are deeply honored and very grateful to work with Kusaka in bringing these frames to the world. For someone of his caliber to trust us with his handiwork is an honor.

Containing decades of frame building experience, and made to the exacting specifications of Keirin track racing, these bikes are functional and built to last. In addition, we wanted these bikes to be beautiful as well. From the brass headbadges designed by Marco Hernandez, paint by Coat and ColorFactory, to the graphics by Way&Means, no expense was spared in making them look as good as possible.

We hope you see something you like. Each frame we sell is built to order and made by hand, so supplies are somewhat limited. To Purchase a Kinfolk frameset, contact us at info@kinfolkbicycles.com and we will start the order process. All orders require a deposit, and will be delivered in 4-6 weeks. Check the links below for pics, prices and options. Read the Kinfolk bike blog. Check out the latest builds on our Flickr page.
