Kumiluoti Website: The Fixed Gear & Single Speed Bike Shop in Helsinki

All right, my notorious post about Helsinki's then new and still the only dedicated fixed gear & single speed bike shop Kumiluoti spurred some pretty heated discussions in both Finnish FG/SS related forums when I wrote it. But all that is in the past now. 

The Kumiluoti shop is open, doing good business and stocked with goodies, and hey! now they even have a website so all you interwebz people don't have to rely on my blog to when looking for info on them. 

Here it is, for all your fixed gear & single speed needs in Helsinki: www.kumiluoti.fi

Chopped Up Peloton Keirin Frame

This is what it looks like when old Keirin frames die. 

Or maybe it was a victim of a serial killer?

Masi Pista FTW!

Again, somehing lovely on Ebay. But these don't come aroud often. 1982 Masi Pista, all kitted out with classic vintage Campy & Cinelli parts. Here, click. 

And yeah, everyone knows that Keirin bikes are cool but Italian vintage Pista bikes are million times cooler, period. 

But what's so special about Masi bicycles and Faliero Masi as a framemaker? Well, he's one of guys who embodies the magic of vintage Italian bikes and artesanal framemakers. He raced himself before starting making bikes, he had his workshop beneath the Vigorelli velodrome in Milan, there was a time when his bikes had the tightest geometry of them all, the best riders rode his bikes (for example, Fausto Coppi had a Bianchi sponsorship, yet the frame he rode was actually a Masi) and so on. Read more here.  Or here. 

And as if this wasn't enough, the same Ebay-seller has this for sale too, a 1977 Medici Pro Pista. 

So Where Are All The Alien Builds?

The long awaited & much delayed Alien framesets should be shipping finally. So where are the first pics of the first builds? The only one so far seems to be this 'prototype' here. In theory Alien frames look very good and the price isn't that bad either. So let's see them?
