Mash SF?

This might be a stupid question, but what exactly is Mash SF? I see the logo everywhere, and i know they do a lot of collaboration with Cinelli, but what exactly are they?

Ahh okay... I figured it had to be some sort of team, but with all the merch and their stickers and patches everywhere, I was a bit thrown off.

Thanks guys.

They are a crew that migrated from the skateboarding scene that sell stuff on the fixed gear scene. They pretty much ad a 30-50% cool tax to anything they sell.

The stickers are just people saying, "I know about this cool thing and I buy their stuff...or really want to but can't afford it."

Take a ubiquitous commodity, paint it an unusual color, make a few of them call it "Limited Edition", over-expose the item to "underground" blogs (that are very much above ground), and sell it for more than the normal commodity is worth. They probably got the model from sneaker game.

Absolutely. We caught them in Boston recently too. Mickkey Dee is a total animal behind the kit - especially considering the dude's pushing 50.

It really is. Almost as brilliant as the guy who invented Bottled Water. Take the most ubiquitous natural ingredient on earth (next to air). Filter it or just use the most abundant and cheapest product on earth: Tap Water. Put it in a bottle. Charge more for it than soda or juice (which actually have water plus value added ingredients).

Dasani is tap water, by the way. Literally. The "Publicly available water source" listed on the label is not a local mountain stream or something. It's the spigot from the local water works.

I'm gonna bottle some air and sell it.

Sadly, drinking tap water is looked down upon by so many people. I know too many people that stock up on water bottles. FFS, when I was Bueno Aires I got weird looks in restaurants when I asked for tap water instead of bottled water.

I'm a fellow tap water drinker myself, hairnet. Saves a bunch of money and no more plastic water bottles from me. I bought a nice stainless steel 40oz bottle that comes with me everywhere I go. I'm thinking of getting a long lasting water filter for the future, when drinking water becomes super expensive since we will run out of it in California, it'll happen soon, you wait. That way, I can filter rain water and other sources of questionable water.
