Making things for any spaces of in between.. Times are different now. We’ve realized that the reason is based on a lack of understanding through consumption.

Imagination & Creation of your life quality

Human beings have lost a lot of things so far which cannot be regained completely. Nature and society remind us how much we still don’t know about this world we exist and we’ve noticed that the same issue is happening in our bicycle world. In former days, there was a time when bicycles were locally built by hands and welded with carefully selected tubin

gs and probably those bikes went to our own grandparents. After that, over the decades, Japan eventually became the most important place for bike manufacturing especially when people around the world started using bikes more recreationally. A center of manufacturing is located in other countries while companies in Japan receive their ideas and products massively without any hesitation. Has the Japanese bicycle industry lost not only their production power but imagination as well? Radically, a quite different market could be seen here in Japan if we tapped into our roots: we should've made products by our own hands, increased lines on communication, used the knowledge that we did have, and accepted what we had too much and not. Simworks has started taking an action to change the system against the trend of mass production. Our goal is to give our clients the highest quality of product! We think it is necessary in order to guide the next generation. This is what we stand for and this is our passion we’d like to share with you.

【Presale】2026 Doppo ‘High Plains Drifter’
Thank you to folks who placed a Presale Order. We have sold more than a half of this batch so far.🙏

Presale for High Plains Drifter frames is closing soon. The frame & fork sets are shipping sometimes in May 2026.

We will be showcasing this bike at .cyclery for the SimWorks Pop Up Tomorrow, FRIDAY 10am-6pm!

If anyone happens to be at , please come see us and say hi at AMG Cyclery in Seaside (18mins from Sea Otter Event) tomorrow!

The ‘High Plains Drifter’ is handcrafted in small batch production here in SimWorks’ home town of Portland, Oregon.

As we did the 1st model in 2022 is a concerted effort in supporting local tradespeople, and contributing to a local economy of skilled creators that continually demonstrate a commitment to exemplary work within our industry.

High Plains Drifter is not trying to skimp on weight, or offer any performance metrics.

It’s a durable, chromoly bicycle frame with butted main triangle tubing intended for off-road riding applications.

It was designed and built to be a lasting machine to take you on a lifetime of memorable adventures. It has ample clearance for 27.5″ x 2.6″ or 29″ x 2.4″ tires.

【SimWorks by Panaracer】SUPER YUMMY 26”
Our classic Super Yummy 26” has been loved by riders across a wide range of bicycles. It’s also one of our favorite tires, one we’re very proud of.

Rounding out the common all-terrain wheel size options, and allowing riders to dust off a classic hardtail relic or build up a versatile getaround machine, lovers of the 559 size can now rejoice and satisfy their craving for a modern, durable and fun-loving tire.

【NEW COLOR】Sim Works Hoodies!
Sakura Season again 🌸 Spring is here, but it still gets chilly once the sun goes down, so a hoodie is still an essential.

We added fresh new colors on our Hoodies as well. We had fully depleted our remaining stock on all of our hooded sweatshirts, so we reupped on 2 great looking new color- Storm Blue and Olive.

The understated sewn on patch is back. Heavier weight than our new crewnecks.

Little roomier fit. Kangaroo pocket. In these shoulder season months, the perfect post cold-plunge warm up, or cozy layer to lull you in to that sated fireside camp daze before you turn in to sleep under the stars.

SimWork by MKS - Bronze Series
Bronze is SimWorks’ favorite colors.
Bubbly Pedal, Tiny Bubbly and Taco Pedal available in Bronze.

The Bubbly Pedal is the founder of SimWorks pedals, with the largest platform in the world. Featuring triple shield bearings engineered by MKS, it provides incredibly smooth performance without feeling heavy. Feel the difference during long rides.

The Tiny Bubbly Pedal follows the design and concept of the Bubbly Pedal but with a narrower size. It still provides ample pedal surface, and is perfect for touring, especially when mobility (like flying) is a factor. The Tiny Bubbly features maintenance-free triple shield bearings, making it less prone to trouble.

The Taco Pedal features a platform size similar to the Bubbly Pedal, with 20 removable spikes on both sides. It offers more grip than the Bubbly series and provides a secure fit for your shoes, even on rough terrain. The Taco Pedal uses cup-and-cone bearings, which can be maintained for long-lasting use.

【NEW】Gettin’ Hungry Stem 4-bolt Faceplate - Lettuce & Tomato
The SimWorks quill stem is back and more secure than ever!

Utilizing the same aluminum faceplate found on our Tomboy and Gettin’ Hungry 1-1/8” threadless stems, you now have the added benefit of making your handlebar swaps a breeze- which hopefully serves to encourage you to try out different bars to find that perfect fit for your favorite bike.

Offered in both 26.0 and 25.4 clamp diameters, 2 classic finishes, and in 5 lengths ranging from 80mm to 120mm- we’ve got a Gettin’ Hungry stem for you and your favorite bike.

We elected to give the 25.4 “Lettuce” variety a slight 100° uprise from the quill insert, while it’s 26.0 “Tomato” counterpart carries on it’s former version’s slightly acute 75° angle.

So dig in. Pull that old bike out of the garage and mount up a new bar and stem combination that’ll have that tired old ride feeling wholly resurrected.

【NEW】SyCip × SimWorks J.J. Bar
In another installment of the handlebar series we’re developing with framebuilder Jeremy Sycip of Santa Rosa, California, we’ve revisited one of his earlier designs.

After updating the JJJ Bar, our attention has turned to the J.J. Bar, originally designed for city riding, and brought up to date with modern specifications.

The updated version refines that idea while improving compatibility: the grip diameter has been changed from 23.8 mm (the traditional road standard) to 22.2 mm, matching standard MTB handlebars.

This adjustment allows the use of flat-bar brake levers, thumb shifters, and index shifters, giving riders more freedom to customize their setups. The design has also been refined for relaxed city commuting, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of urban bicycles.

The J.J. Bar has grown from 620 mm to 740 mm, giving extra width for stability and control, especially useful on gravel roads or longer rides. The 31.8 mm center clamp section has been extended, making it easier to mount front bags, lights, or electronics.

These refinements create a handlebar that harmonizes with diverse riding styles, from everyday city streets to gravel touring and casual commuting.

Material：Heat Treated Aluminum
Width：740 mm (center to center at ends)
Clamp Diameter：31.8 mm
Grip Diameter：22.2 mm
Rise/Drop：0 mm
Grip angle：45 deg.
Grip Area：170 mm
Finish Options：Silver, Black

Manufactured by Nitto Japan

Designed by Sycip Bikes, California

【NEW】SimWorks With Me Brass Tapered Spacer
We’ve got a new addition to our growing catalog of brass products as of today- with the release of these handsome tapered brass column spacers. We have these produced by a small CNC machine shop in Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

There’s 2 stack heights and the OD at the top of the taper matches the OD on our Chromoly stems- which looks nice and tidy. Effectively the same shape as our Alloy Tapered spacers, we’re pleased to have another option for our customers who are keyed in to brass as an aesthetic preference.

These have a pleasant heft to them. We likely won’t be selling many to folks who are tallying grams; and that’s not weighing heavy on us.

We’re excited to see how the surface oxidation presents itself on these spacers long-term. If our first hand experiences with our raw brass ni***es, Turtle Bell and our housing ferrules are any indication - we’re all in for a real treat.

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to ride and celebrate with us “even in the pouring rain.”

Despite the classic Portland weather, folks showed up early (some from far away!) to ride together and celebrate with us.

Everyone came back to the showroom with BIG SMILES which means A LOT to us. Moments like this keep us motivated to keep making and offering better products, to keep growing together, and to be reminded every single event how important community really is.

For music, we were lucky to have Waffles from Eugene and Masashi visiting from Japan on the decks. They also spun records brought by SimWorkers Steven and Aaron.

HUGE thanks for the great vibes, and for all the conversations with new and old friends alike.

The handmade onigiri and Fresh Beer were enjoyed to the very last bite and sip, making for a perfect close to the party.

The Alex Pretti Unity Ride.
We ride together, We stand together.

On Saturday, January 31, more than 2,000 riders from Portland’s cycling community participated in a Memorial and Solidarity Ride for Alex Pretti- who was tragically gunned down by ICE officers in Minnesota last month.

This ride was organized by our friends and outstanding local great SimWorks dealer

While we wish that this kind of turnout was brought on by other circumstances, it was wonderful to see bike riders of all kinds, ages, abilities and backgrounds show up and show their solidarity for Alex, as well as demonstrate their opposition to the policies in place that were a catalyst for this senseless death.

Alex was a health care provider, a son, a brother, a friend, a member of the Minneapolis cycling community and a customer of our great SimWorks dealer

What happened to Alex should never have happened, but could have happened to many of us. Continuing to live in an environment where that’s a reality and a fear that we share, must change.

We believe in our bicycle community, and the potential we have to manifest positive change and to realize the kind of world we want to live in.

We have strength, solidarity, and a unified, amplified voice in our assembly. SimWorks rejects the idea that bicycles should not be “political”. Bicycles have always been instruments of personal empowerment, social equality, environmental progress, creativity, as well as health, wellness and societal good.

Thank you to all of you for your support.
