New School Italian Pista Frame

Maio from http://pistamania.blogspot.com/ just sent me these photos with following the information: 

* 100% HAND MADE IN ITALY

* BUILT NOW BUT WITH THE OLD STYLE
* Only 1400gr.
* Only 2 sizes (S & M)

I don't know anything else at this point but the frame looks damn good to me. If only the price will be right, say considerably cheaper than Cinelli Vigorelli for example, I think we have a potential winner here. And you gotta remember that Bianchi Pista Concepts are pretty much impossible to get hold of here in Europe and Cannondale Tracks are super rare, unless you want to pay stupid Ebay prices.

More MASH SF News: Emi's Leader Bike Is Back.

As I wrote earlier, MASH SF's Emi's tarkced out Leader bike was apparently stolen couple of weeks back in SOMA, SF. Well, now some extra secret interwebz sources have revealed that he has actually gotten the bike back somehow since that. Which is very nice.

At the same time the other stolen bikes I've blogged about here, and here, have not found their way back to their rightful owners, unfortunately. Someone even reported somewhere on http://www.londonfgss.com/ that Emma's black Vivalo was actually seen somewhere near Brick Lane ridden by some chavvy youths. Fuck that, some serious D-lock justice is really needed if things go like that. 

Anyhow, to celebrate Emi's victory over the lowlifescumbagjunkiebikethieves, I posted above picture of his other (previous?) bike, a super tarcked-out Bianchi Pista Concept, which looks at least to me waaaay nicer than the Leader.
