In '97 I had my 1st encounter with the work of Kimura san and his team. At first glance the
design puzzled me, but I loved it! These pictures are also from that first issue of HBJ I got. The bike was set up as a sort of transformer/ hybrid, you could make it a racer, cruiser or apehanger style. It was a mystery though who built it as the text was in Japanese. 1 1/2 year later I found out by getting an issue of Vibes magazine that it was built by Zero
