Making A Hand Built Steel Bike | Toyo Frame Factory Tour

While out in Japan, Jon was lucky enough to get to look around the Toyo Frames factory. Jon got to learn about the history of the brand, including that they've made frames for MTB and cyclocross legend Thomas Frischknet!

Founded in 1974, Toyo Frame is based in an old bearing factory. This is a company absolutely steeped in history, with the founder originally working for the iconic Panasonic frame company before starting Toyo Frame.

Jon was lucky enough to get a tour of the factory and even see their processes of making a frame. From bending and mitring tubes, to welding, and even how they get their incredible polished mirror finishes.
