CHAS CHRISTIANSEN X MASH 10 YEAR Jan 6, 2016 Categories: Cinelli, MASH 0 Comment Fall 2015 created so many memories for us, as we traveled, and set up events to share the new book and video release. Once we were back on the ground, the Cinelli MASH 10 year Parallax frames arrived at our shop. This frame is really special for the team. It is 100% their input for the geometry. Garrett Chow designed the art work for all of the 10 year pieces, with the frame being the crown jewel. Chas had been planning his build for months, getting all of the components lined up. He is supported by Zipp, so they custom drilled him a set of 32 hole rims and laced them to the Phil Wood MASH hubs. The build is finished with Izumi, MKS, Cadence, Continental, Newbaum’s, and San Marco. For all of the effort that went into 2015, it is really powerful to see a race machine like this live on for years to come. TCB #3: 99 of these frame sets where produced by Cinelli. The first 10 went to the team. MASH has #1, Garrett has #2, and Chas has #3.

Santa Rosa Cup 2015 Nov 16, 2015 Categories: Cyclocross, MASH, Photo 0 Comment Last Friday night, some of the CX team headed north to race in the Santa Rosa Cup. A 3 day series that consisted of a night race, a reverse day race, and the third event on a fresh course, after some fresh rain. These moments where captured at the first night race. Bike Monkey has grown to support these fun races, and we are grateful for their efforts. Chelsea, Al, Eddy, Rainier, Dylan, and Walton came out, and put in work. Walton won the series for the Elite Men’s A’s. Chelsea took 3rd for the Elite Women’s A’s. Enclosed are some details from Friday night. Cross weather is here. The wide open sight lines meant no chase was ever really over. These guys actually smacked racers in the head in an unpredictable way. This corner was velcro at the beginning then got worked looser and looser, forcing riders to rethink their lines. Hops. Empty kegs created a maze of confusion with smoke, laser beams and cranked up music. Bike party. Nearly all of the night’s races took place after dark and the hecklers were out in force in every corner. Line it up. Stay loose. Send it. Get after it. The fast track let racers really cook the corners. Bike Monkey organized an amazing event and positive vibes carried through the weekend. Walton and Gavin battled lap after lap.Cameron J. Moose.Holeshot vibes. Braaap-braaap-braaap.Solved the maze. The Walt and Hoppin Haley. This format was a huge hit! Let’s do it again.
