This old pic from the MASH Tour de California 2009 resurfaced on forums somewhere. Drop a chain while bombing a hill on a breakless fixie skidder biek, clipless and rocking SIDIs?
No probs, man!

Cinelli X Mash Limited Ed.

Way cooler than the standard Cinelli MASH colors, I'd say!

“Garrett brought the histogram forward for our new kit. To commemorate the energy around this new series, We painstakingly produced only three MASH Cinelli framesets.

The finished product is produced with a 2010 Columbus/Cinelli/MASH frame set, with powder coat, matte clear coat, fine die-cuts. Each signed by the artist.

Only available at the Project Space Gallery. The gallery will ship worldwide, and sell based on date/time of email received. Email them at: Projectspace@arkitip.com to get one of these. Next build yours, and send us photos of the life you give one of these pieces of weaponry.” – MASH

Cinelli X(C) Mash

Cinelli X Mash 2010

Let's play a game: how many 'wrongs' you find in that build? And why is it that the Cinelli Mash is probably one of the most hated disliked street fixed gear frameset on the market at the moment?

EDIT.

All right, I guess I need to clarify this a little bit after receiving some reader feedback last night. My point above was NOT to hate on the Cinelli X Mash frameset itself but I've been just wondering why so many of the builds of that frame end up the way they do? I know there are many of you out there who agree with me on this.

Another thing; I'm quite stoked about the rumour of the 2011 model of the frame coming with two different geometries because as someone point out somewhere, if taken far enough the one with steeper geo will probably be getting closer and closer to the venerable Cannondale Track, which the MASH SF boys are known to dig too... 

Cinelli X MASH SF 2011 Proto

Prototype of the 2011 Cinelli MASH frameset, as posted already everywhere by everyone, first here though. I agree with people who pointed out that the raw alu finish would look kinda neat, which makes me wish the Cinelli Vigorelli color-scheme would be reworked for 2011 too.

Also, there will be actually two different models next year:

"Our goal is to offer two separate Cinelli geometries for 2011. The current street geomerty, and an even more agressive track. The more agressive frame will offer some special details, and sit at a slightly higher price point for that design. 2011, and no sooner. This is the downside to instant internet information. It makes waiting, feel even longer… We are incredibly happy with the current production model, and want to offer something to a different customer with this additional adjustment.

EDIT:
Also want to clairify that this is just a raw sample frame, and we stickered it for filming. This will not be a production color for 2011."

Dead Tires

From Massan's lost film rolls.

MASH SF x Vittoria Randonneur 700x23c

"The Vittoria Randonneur apparently is the best tire that the mashers have found for standing up to that kind of abuse, and they wear them right down to the pink puncture-resistant belt. However, many of the bikes they use won’t fit a 25mm tire, so Vittoria is making the Randonneur, at Mashsf.com’s request, in a 700 X 23mm size."

Massan Goes For Steel

Since I've been geeking-out on Massan's bike before, I had to steal these pics from Chari & Co NYC: his new Leader LD–722TS, a steel frame with carbon forks. Steel is real, you know.

Massan's Blog & Bike Check

Massan has a new blog, which you might want to check out.

To celebrate that and since I'm still quite stoked about his first Macaframa clip, I'm stealing his Leader bikecheck from W-BASE Tokyo for your enjoyment:

FRAME: LEADER
FORK: LEADER
HANDLEBAR: DEDA Pista
GRIPS: STRONG-V
HEADSET: FSA
STEM: THOMSON
CRANK: SUGINO 75

And it seems that Crank Arm Steady already did the same thing, and they even have his other bike there.

Massan from the MASH SF fame joins the Macaframa team, new footage with him is on the pipeline. I'm loving the vibe of this. No tricks, just big hills.
