Cinelli have also brought back three of their classic cockpit designs. First up is the aluminium Giro D’Italia ’64 bar, which is made from 6061 alloy to meet the latest EN standards but still shaped exactly like the original. With a 75mm reach and 140mm drop, it’s the ideal companion to a classic road bike.

The 1965 Criterium bar is also back, with its deeper drop (145mm) and further forward curve (82mm). In its day, this was the sprinter’s bar of choice. Cinelli have recreated the original ‘milky’ anodised finish of the originals too.

The classic 26mm diameter bars need a stem, so Cinelli have brought back the 1A. It’s now made from 6066 T6 alloy to meet EN standards but has the same simple, elegant design. It’s available with the same ‘Milky’ finish as the bars.

This was the ultimate aim of the Mash Cinelli Team, and to achieve it they used the most suitable technology: hydroforming. Rise, angle and length of the extensions, shaped underside for an ergonomic grip: we have reinvented a classic.

Even the rough, sandblasted surface improves grip.

Nothing excites us more than innovation. At Chari & Co. NYC, we love companies and designers that push the limits, daring to come up with products that are both truly unique and highly functional. So, when the geniuses at SSCY asked us to collaborate with them on a Chari & Co. NYC-branded version of their Bandolier bag, we jumped at the opportunity.  In our humble opinion, the Bandolier is the epitome of good ol’ American ingenuity. It’s a double-pouched, made-in-Brooklyn carryall that is perfect for those days on which a hip bag is too dinky but a messenger bag is too bulky. It’s extremely low-profile so you can wear it under a shell or jacket, and it’s perfect for hauling your board to the nearest skate spot. Best of all, it’s extremely easy to access either of the Bandolier’s pouches on the fly—just swing the bag around your body.

Kashimax CEO Eijiro Kashima recently met Kouichi Nakano at the Beijin World Cup to catch up and tell old stories. Nakano who is a  ten-time world champion track racing cyclist from 1977 to 1988 was a good friend of Kashima’s father and of course Yoshiaki Nagasawa. Nakano exclusively rode a NAGASAWA Keirin Frame that was made by Yoshiaki Nagasawa who studied building under Ugo De Rosa of De Rosa Bicycles, and has been building bicycles in Japan since the late 1970s. Kashima once told me that when Nakano was starting his racing career, he didn’t have enought money to live anywhere so he would sleep in Nagasawa’s workspace and they would discuss all night the perfect bicycle that he would evevntually ride to becoming world champ.

We’ve been fortunate here that the winter has not been as brutal as last year and we’ve actually has some warmer then normal days. We just had a customer treat herself to a new bike after years of commuting on a bike she had for years. New year means new bike!

Zunow frames are getting rarer every year as the builder has not produced any new frames for quite some time now. The Z1 was Zunows workhorse race frame structured with lightweight but super durable Columbus Nemo tubes. As with most Zunow frames, this one is fillet brazed and a always a head turner.
