The “International” for Team Wallpaper* is one of a handful of bicycles that the magazine helped develop. Many international friends worked on the series. Shuichi Kusaka of US-Japanese operation Kinfolk built the frames. Coat in Portland, OR painted the frames while the custom saddles were made by the Brooks Saddle Co. Nivaldo de Lima worked on the custom bicycle bags for the one-offs. A great project overall.

I also find that brake pulls and cables do clutter a bike frame unnecessarily.
Shame no one involved in the project bothered to set the bike up properly for the shoot then. Saddle and the bottom edge of bars not running perfectly horizontal is pretty lazy.
