"One of the most detailed bicycle shops you can find on Earth. When it comes to high-end components and custom bicycles, this place is the first that comes to everyone's mind. The staff is always friendly, polite, and constantly striving to assist. In front of the entrance, delicious snacks are available, and they sell coffee from a different country every day."

Only in Japan can you openly display that much inventory without fear of getting stolen.

The assortment and selection is amazing. You'll never see a shop that well stocked here in the US.

Wow! I would spend hours in a shop like that. So much old skool stuff you just can't get hold of any more. Amazing! Japan is amazing!

Interesting to see this -- I recently ordered a WTB Silverado saddle from this store, it's a special edition/color that WTB made for Blue Lug. My first real bike riding was on Mt Tamalpais in Marin County, which is where WTB is based (all the founders of WTB were Marin locals that rode Mt Tam in the early 80s). I'm now building up a new bike, going from strictly road to all-road/gravel, so I thought it would be cool if I return to the Mt Tam trails with a saddle that has some local heritage -- and arrived to me via Tokyo!

As a long-time industry insider in the USA, the product assortment is interesting. There are no mountain or road bikes to speak of; most of what they have is for custom builds geared towards the urban cyclist, which of course is completely understandable.

Absolute heaven. An Aladdin's cave containing fabulous riches. In England or the USA this shop would stripped by thieves in mere minutes.

They used to display some products of Paul Components and Chris King brands openly, even in areas where cameras couldn't capture, without hesitating to showcase thousands of dollars worth of items. The store is always crowded, and it seems like they have no worries about the theft of parts.

They have nearly 30 employees in total for 3 branches. I don't think it will be very difficult.

In some places it is possible to see products unrelated to bicycles. Or I have come across products that are bicycle products but are not on sale.

Me: “Can you drop me off at 08.00 at Blue Lug?” Wife: “ What time shall I pick you up?” Me: “ Around 17.00? Actually make it 18.00” 🤪🤪🤪

Rengarenk ürünler var tam benim istediğim gibi ama kadro olarak pek çeşitliliği yok

@melihakdogan 6 ай бұрын

oldukça çeşitli var aslında. tüm surly modelleri, mash steel, crust ve bir çok markanın daha tüm ürünlerini sunuyorlar.

@bisikletci5413 5 ай бұрын

Japonlar ABD'li demir bisiklet markalarini niye bu kadar tercih ediyorlar kendilerinin yok mu? Bu tarz bisikletler benim de modern alu ve carbon ürünlerden daha cok ilgimi cekiyor acikcasi.

@melihakdogan 5 ай бұрын

çünkü bluelug'un bir ortağı amerikalı. ve japonlar amerikan kültürünü ve ürünlerini çok seviyorlar.
