About a year ago, Taiwanese fixed gear crew nabiis embarked on a tour around their motherland, Tour De Taiwan, from the obvious influence from the cycling event Tour de France. First part of the tour aired about a month ago and here we see the second par of the leg from Yilan (宜蘭) to Hulien (花蓮) in Taiwan. The video is well edited in a fast tempo keeping the adrenalin going as if you were riding with them. It is an impressive journey and you get to see the beautiful scenery that Taiwan offers. Keep up to date here for more videos to come.

They’re followed by a black eyelet layer and simple inscription of the 2 collaborators in metallic ink.
