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
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...
The only true wrong I can see is the radial rear. Can't mash with that!
ReplyDeleteWhat else do you see?
straight laced back wheel wouldn't be the best for fixed
ReplyDeleteAll right, besides the stupid rear wheel lacing and the bare bars there's actually not much wrong with the build, especially if you consider it just as a showroom sample.
ReplyDeleteiminusd wheels are bad quality
ReplyDeleteright!
ReplyDeleteI was gonna also say that those rims were a fail but didn't dare to do that since I'm already been label'd as hater... ;)
if the wheels are such bad quality, why you put radial lace at all? I guess its something the engineers (Chinese) know that we don't know
ReplyDeleteIt's just meant for show in a store
