#40 エストレアCustom Report
Estorea, which I made to order before setting up my own shop.
At that time, there were few commercially available bolt-on parts, so I made all the exterior parts one-off with a few machine tools.
The frame is fully smoothed, and the neck area is slightly molded.
Front fork extension,
Lowering by modifying the rear shock mount and using rear shocks from other models,
Changed to a rear 18-inch H-type rim, and the front and rear tires are “Firestone”.
