I’m Vladimir Balahovsky, a solo bicycle frame builder. Born in a small Latvian village, I am now based in Tokyo, Japan. My brand is called Equilibrium Cycle Works as a constant reminder to always remember why I’m here. Equilibrium is a state of balance when two opposing parts merge into one, bringing unconditional happiness and the joy of living. It’s directly related to what I’m going through and the kind of experience I’d like to share. I build frames because I enjoy every moment of the process; I never rush to finish a frame just to see the final result.
