A selection of parts and accessories that complement the CS26 model along with some past builds that might inspire you.

Tyres: This model can accommodate a wide range of tyres, The standard ones that come fitted to the bike are good for daily commuting on smooth roads. If you're after puncture proof tyres then go for Schwalbe Marathon tyres. For a softer ride and a classic aesthetic the Pasela tyres are great (1.25 wide max. if you have mudguards or 1.5 wide if you dont). For a faster ride, with good puncture protection, Gatorskins are the best option. For more advice just contact the store. 

Almost any rack or basket can be fitted so its useful to consider the weight of the load - heavier cargo on the back of the bike wont affect the handling so much as it does at the front. Likewise the lower (closer to the wheel) the weight sits, the better the handling. 

The aesthetics plays a part too of course and we think the tokyobike Daily basket best suits this model for the front or the Cloud carrier if you plan to use pannier bags.

The handlebars can dramatically change the feel of the bike as well as the look.

For a more upright ride, pick a swept back bar or one with a rise. Or for that true sit up and beg position, the extra tall Technomic stem from Nitto is perfect. If you are looking to ride further or faster, or after a cleaner look, then a straighter, narrower bar, works better.
