With a bike, even the concrete jungle can be transformed into an adventure space. The bikes made by CRUST Bike have that potential.
The Lightning Bolt frame is the model in the CRUST Bike lineup that is most suitable for riding on paved roads. That said, as you can see from the video above, it can also run at lightning speed on unpaved roads.
Unlike the MTB-based design of the basic model " EVASION" , the model " The Lightning Bolt" is closer to the design of "ROMANCEÜR" by Ultra Romance , and has a more modern and urban finish.
The front fork is a 100 x 12mm thru-axle that allows for stable riding even on rough roads, while the rear is a standard 135mm QR for easy maintenance. The headset is OS (28.6mm), the BB standard is JIS68mm, and the seatpost diameter is 27.2mm, all of which are very common standards, so you can choose from a wide variety of parts.
The frame is made of Reynolds 853 pipes, which are lightweight and moderately flexible, allowing it to move well on both paved and unpaved roads.
You can either transplant parts from a bike you already own, or build your dream bike from scratch with your favorite parts.
Even if you commute to work during the week and then go for a ride on gravel roads on the weekends, you can go for a ride without changing any parts or settings. This would be an ideal vehicle for Japan, where there are many paved roads.
As an aside, the name "The Lightning Bolt" seems to come from the long-established surfboard brand, Lightning Bolt Surfboard.
He also got the idea for a bike that runs smoothly on artificial waves, which are essentially paved roads, from watching legendary surfer Kelly Slater ride artificial waves.

The connection between CRUST Bike and surfing is very deep.
