Rossin Performance EL Pista

This very interesting Rossin Performance EL Pista "build" is apparently currently for sale for 300€ in the Next Bike shop in Turku, Finland. How nice. Below you see how it was originally meant to be.

Thanks for the photo goes to Mankkis.

Mavic Piste 520

Patience, man. It pays off. I've been sort of semi-passively looking for a pair of those nice 1980s Mavic track hubs for quite some time now. I've missed or lost couple of Ebay auctions and turned down an offer of a perfect pair because of high asking price I but just got this in the mail today.

Now I only need to track down a matching 28h front hub AND pair of 28h Mavic Open Pro CD or similar hoops. Oh, well.

I need to be honest here: while the Kagero looks pretty nice indeed, I just can't not point out the fact that it resembles the Cinelli MASH just a little bit too much. Just like those LOW lo pros do too. You can always argue that since it's not exactly the same but still. Whatever, I'm sure it's nice ride. Congratulations to Pedal Consumption!

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."
