Splitting Finland. In Half. By bike.

"Splitting Finland for a good cause! 8 wheels, 4 guys, 2 weeks and about 1 600km.

"Its pretty complicated to explain "why", but maybe there was some betting a year ago. Maybe not. Anyway there were no losers, but the idea of biking thru our homeland with great friends was too good to bury. So I guess it was 1st of May when Heppu and Tuukka (Andreas) called from Portugal and tell me that the journey is on, and I have to participate. Due the special "date" (whole Helsinki is one big party on that day), I have to admit that I don't remember saying "yes", "no" or much about the call in general. There was a plan to practice during the summer, to do lot of cycling and getting shape. By the mid July it was clear, that it was just a plan and there won't be any cycling or getting physically ready for this event. Beer and happy times with friends, no sweating on the saddle. It makes sense now :)

At some point Tuukka hooked Osku to join our journey, he is a bad ass bicycle guy, so he is like an insurance for us. Its good to have a guy onboard who actually knows something about cycling and bikes. He is also a video man, so there will be some film coming up after the trip, about the trip.

Thanks to Mr. Jasper Pääkkönen there is also a greater mission than just a friendship and getting some time off from working. Jasper hooked us up with the WWF and now we are cycling for the Baltic Sea!!! Thats cool I think! It will also make sure that we push and pull harder to get to the finish line. Basically it works like this; you can support our trip by donating a penny or two for WWF bank account: OP 578007-130581 Then write to message field "Your Name / Splitting Finland". After the trip we will publish the total amount and names of the people who donated in our blog and here!

Thats about it... We haven't planned this trip too much, but one things is sure; without Pelago and Hyppönen brothers we would not have bikes to ride. Timo and Mikko made this possible! Also a Sports Tracker will make sure that we will find the Nuorgam at some point. Plus thanks to Makia Clothing we will look fabulous when that happens!

Feeling weird. A bit scary to be honest. But its gonna be good. Its gonna be beautiful. Cheers!" - Juha"

Pelago Cargo Bike Prototype

First sneak peak photo of the Pelago Cycles' forthcoming cargo bike designed and hand-built by our man Olli Erkkilä in Punavuori, Helsinki.

It's still just a prototype and has no name, price nor release date at the moment but according to the first test report it rides nice. One main point of the design is to keep the bike relatively light weight and easy to handle, the bike being meant as an urban family bike with both a child seat and box for transporting stuff. The actual cargo box design is still not finished, though. The bike will eventually be equipped with a Alfine 8 speed hub. I will keep you posted on the progress of the project.

Pelago Bicycles: San Sebastian 2012

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?

Pelago '1-vaihde' -runkosetti ulkona maaliskuussa

Pelagon odotettu ja huhujen mukaan varsin pitkään suunnittelupöydällä ollut teräksinen 1-vaihde runkosetti on viimein saatavilla maaliskuussa, kun kontti saapuu Taiwanista.  

Esikuvana on ollut eräs monille tuttu ja erityisesti polkupyörälähettien keskuudessa suosittu fiksirunko, kuitenkin pienillä parannuksilla ja twiikkauksilla. Sopivan rapsakka geometria kaupunkipyöräilyyn, hieman korkeampi keskiö jonka kanssa ei tarvitse hikoilla polkimien kolisevan katuun edes vähän pitempien kampien kanssa ja kiinnityspaikat lokasuojille tai etutarakalle.

Vaikka Pelago aikoo myydä runkoa myös kompliittipyöräna parillakin erilaisella kokoonpanolla, runko ja keula -setti varmasti kiinnostaa monia enemmän.

Speksit: 
Runko tuplaohennettua saumatonta 4130 Cromo-terästä 
Väri "yönsininen" 

Koot:

korkeus 495mm, pituus 525mm / kulmat HT72°, ST74.5°
korkeus 525mm, pituus 540mm / kulmat HT73°, ST74°
korkeus 555mm, pituus 560mm / kulmat HT73°, ST73°
korkeus 585mm, pituus 580mm / kulmat HT73°, ST73°
korkeus 615mm, pituus 600mm / kulmat HT73°, ST73°
(Korkeudet ilmoitettu C-C -mittoina) 

BB drop 65mm
CS 400-425mm 
120mm takanavalle


1 1/8'' keula, pituus A-C 378mm 
Emäputki: 95mm/122mm/150mm/178mm/208mm

Lokasuojat mahtuu max. 32mm renkaan kanssa
Erilaisille telineille kiinnityspisteet edessä ja takana


Runkosetin hinta 395e

Pelago Bicycles 2012 Sneak Peak // Competition

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."

GoExpo 2011

Tnts visited to the GoExpo 2011 - bicycle fair at the Helsinki convention centre today as a guest of the Pelago boys, and and to stealthily promote KRNKY I guess. Anyway, I didn't go there because I had better things to do but I'm posting some his photos to show you the best - and the worst - fixed/single speed bikes of the event. But I will leave it up to you all to decide which is which...

Thanks to Toni for the photos.
