I got a sub 20 pound 24 inch cruiser class race bike.

^I think SE's stock Floval Flyer supposedly weights 22.7lbs. That's pretty darn good for off-the-rack and a measly $630. I think my old 20" Powerlite (chromoly) was like 21lbs.

That's so 2005.....

That is awesome, I wish I had those kind of connections. Good to know those wheels are working out.

I think there is something to it but who knows it could be gimmicky, all I know is I likes to look at it and I wouldn't mind owning one.

neither would I haha.

Today i spilled coffee on my macbook and its all wonky now :crash:

Commuted on my bmx this morning.

Pretty fun man.

I've been in Puerto Rico the past week, been pretty good about not burning the pasty flesh... until today. Got ****ing obliterated

Today I got to put my grubby hands on the Cinelli Mash Work Frame.....instant lust. On the heavy side, but I'm assuming it actually really is bomb proof. Nice details throughout.

Holy hell that look frameset is 3000g total.

Are those bosses on the seatstays for screw-in canti studs?

EDIT: maybe they were thinking Vs or mini-Vs...?

I don't remember her name, but that lady makes a damn fine caramel mocha!

That's steamroller territory...

Today and yesterday I was able to get some genuine saddle time on the Bianchi since getting a threadless setup on it.

I learned about this frameset first hand from one locked up in a rack.

The thought process was: "Woah that's a pretty cool frameset; is it custom?" "Oh it's a cinelli, pretty cool" "ewww MASH, my condolences to the owner's wallet"

$800 is a bit much for Cromor but I suppose this is acceptable when most other bikes have degenerated to no-name hi-ten for the sake of the bottom line.
Not to mention the clearcoated industrial raw look cheats the buyer out of a cool cinelli paintjob. #profits


I'd ride it nonetheless if something bad happened to my kona and I'm able to pull some strings to get a hook up.

I got to hold one of these myself when they 1st started going out...

My buddy that got me into riding fixed and who I got my own Cinelli frame from thought he had a deal with MASH to get serial # 0001. The box came marked to indicate that it was, but when he opened it - the frame was actually stamped 0014.

That frameset was a 50cm and felt pretty light to me. I really liked the stripped-down "industrial" look and yes, it had removable canti studs - hey actually came packed in the parts bag.

He returned it over the serial # issue but offered to let me buy it from him before he did. I passed but even now kind of regret having done so, should've taken a pic...

track spacing/ends - check
internal cable routing - check
tire clearance - check
canti studs - check
two bottle cages - check
standard BB and seatpost - check

TAKE MY MONEY!

Seriously, this exactly what I want. Pretty sure this will replace my Steamroller eventually.

Nature Boy already did it. This is definitely hot, though.

and for almost half the price and a snazzier paintjob.

Yeah, but I wouldn't even have to get a new rear wheel with the Cinelli.

But it's not from Mash. The only thing that's nice about that bike is the raw finish cause it looks rad with a cetma on there.

Is that a restaurant/bike shop combo?
