Pelago Bicycle's new long waited San Sebastian for 2012 is finally out.
Basically San Sebastian is a simple yet versatile TIG-welded 4130 cromo fixed gear / single speed frameset made in Taiwan and modeled largely on the old warhorse Surly Steamroller but with some specific tweaks to make it even better: relatively shorter top tube and taller headtube, bit higher bb and eyelets for full long fenders and a front rack. Price is 395€ for frame and fork. What more you need?
A lil' sneak peak at the Pelago Bicycles range for 2012 and a naming competition. Looks sweet to me.
"We are introducing some new models next year. First of them shall be this light weight bicycle – a classic mixte with a modern approach. Full cromo frame with butted main tubes. There's only one little problem: the beloved child has many names and we've had hard time making up our minds which one to record in the books. There's a few suggestions below; which one do you prefer – or how would you call it if you were to decide? Thumb-click the proposal you like or suggest your own. We will draw a winner amongst the votes and reward the best proposal."
