Mash presents Cutty Cross Cat

I lagged on giving you all a heads up, but here's all the info you'll need for the race.

Check the map here and the photos below.

Affinity & The Six Days Race

This is pretty stellar and needed a reblog. Affinity sponsored rider Dan Sullivan will be traveling to race in the first Union International Six Days Race. He will be the only American competing in the Sprint competition, racing in Keirins and Match Sprints with perhaps flying laps and some derney action.

Mark, Crihs, and Chas Need A Place To Crash!

My friends Mark, Chas, and Crihs are riding from SF to LA to Vegas. Yeah, it's gonna be epic, but they're in need of some help. If anyone lives in Monterey, San Luis Obispo, or Santa Barbara, and would house 3 of some of the most amazing people out there, let them know. Here's the snippet from the MASH SF site.

Cinelli Laser Reproduction 2011 (or 2012?)

Hella busy morning at work! The first one today's a good one. Reproduction of Cinelli Laser has been lurked on at Eurobike (and leaking everywhere else). I'm guessing more info will rise after iBike. I'm gonna try to touch it even if that means getting kicked out.

Chicago's New Velodrome

It's been a long time since Chicago has had a new velodrome. Well, this guy wants to create a new one. Under Chicago Velo Campus, this guy's goal is to create one. The permanent facility is approximately the size of the United Center with an estimated cost of $45MM. They expect that to open in late 2013, but until then, they have an interim track of 166 meters. A little small, but its to bring awareness to the new velodrome. Well, the new one's open and it looks amazing.

Cannondale Catalogs

I used to get a lot of questions about Cannondale tracks. The internet is a wonderful thing; mainly that you can download all the Cannondale catalogs over the years from one fantastic website. Seriously. The web is moving away from sourcing info to just asking social networks, but I still believe in being a personal information hub. So suck it, web 3.0.

Here's the site.

Why We Ride

Spotted over at People for Bikes

Specialized Allez by Yoshi Konno

One of my dream bikes is the 1983 Specialized Allez. Back when Specialized was starting off as a company, they would contract builders to create their frames. Some names include Tim Neenan (Lighthouse), Jim Merz, and Mark Dinucci (Strawberry). This particular year was the first and made by Yoshi Konno (3Rensho).

There's a lot of (mis)information out there and I in no way will vouch 100% for mine, but one thing's for sure; they exist and they are beautiful. I owned a 1986, made by Miyata at the time, for a couple months before I had to let it go. I passed it on to Jared over at Timbuk2 and now it lives in the store grinning with pleasure.
