Atomic 22 for MASH

Categories: MASH Frames

0 Comment

Ready for the future of bicycle security?  Meet Atomic 22. 

Over the past eight months we have been working closely with Atomic 22 to develop security packages for the bikes we build, ride, and race. The end result is a precisely crafted, limited number custom key system, with smart features,  that far exceeded our expectations. Enclosed is more information on this new program.

Members will register their kits with Atomic 22 online. They include a serial number, and web url to register your product. This stage is a must. This will help your unique tool fit be recorded, and allow for an easy bit replacement if you loose your tools.

The Tribe sets are for bikes with quick release wheels. Works with both 130 and 135 spaced rear wheels. Their solution is by far the best we have seen. The Tribe G set includes front and rear axles. The Tribe D set includes front only, and is a more affordable option if you lock up through your frame and rear wheel.

We also received a couple sets of bolts/caps for square taper crank arms.

The Cinelli MASH kits include the seat binder bolt that works with the existing Cinelli Seat collar. This will work on all Cinelli models with this 34.9 collar. Vigorelli, Bolt, Histogram, and SSCX frames.

The same craft Atomic 22 uses on their designs filters through everything they touch, all the way through to the finished package.

The ratchet handle is a very clean design. Like all the Atomic 22 components, the ratchet tool is exactly as you would want it to be. The entire tool is 4 inches long, so is perfect as a ride along tool.

The Cinelli MASH kits include 2 stem face plate bolts to secure your handlebars to your stem.

The 6 mm set works with Phil Wood, White Industries, and Paul hubs that are 6 mm for example. The hardware is lean, and act like the Phil Chrome Dome with a gnarled side. This helps avoid your rear wheel from slipping without a chain tentioner.

The Bolt-on track kit includes bolts for 9-10 mm track axles being used on aluminum or carbon frames. These will work on Cinelli, and many modern aluminum track frames, and work on Mavic Ellipse, Dura-ace Track, and hubs like Formula, or Gran-Compe type hubs. Please confirm the specs of your build before ordering. Please feel free to email or call the shop with questions.

Atomic 22 produces each piece in house. All the way down to the custom top cap.

This is an example of the QR axle included in the Tribe sets. The ends are a thin profile, with tabs that slot into the dropout and fork end. This avoids anyone from being able to spin them off.

GARRETT CHOW: ALL CHIPS ON THE TABLE

Last Friday a group of racers met at the MASH shop to race the Cutty Cross Cat, ultimately ending at Garrett’s opening of his installation at Rapha, across town. Enclosed are some moments from November 2nd’s events, and details from the show that runs through the end of the month.

The Cutty Cross Cat race was made up of 5 checkpoints inside 3 different parks in the city. Racers needed both road and dirt skills to compete in this one.

Full House

Podium People!

Evolution: The entire show funnels through this bike in my opinion. Years and years working as an artist and graphic designer lead Garrett to this personal project. 

The Rapha Cycling Club was a perfect space for the opening-party and show. This morning I went back to spend some time with the show.

Zdenek Stybar’s World Champion cyclocross bike is on display, but will leave it up to you to get the show, and enjoy it in person!

This section feels like mind-mapping. All these layered moments and memories are inspiration for design and where bikes are born.

The entry wall displays race kits, and photographs of the bikes Garrett has designed for MASH over the years.  

Details

This diagram illustrates the contour displacement analysis frames go through, and how that in turn translated to a 2013 Specialized Venge concept-bike.

Portrait

This is an example of a design-intent study for Tom Boonen, that progressed into production. Seeing these mock-ups in a more raw form than production, shows that magic leap that all production models go through.

The show’s layout begins with blank white paper, turning into sketches and inspiration; mixed with photographic memories. These components progress into bike-specific sketches that grow into a hand-painted frame set. From there, prototypes lead to current production models, and custom team bikes. 

Stop by the Rapha Cycling Club this month, and take time to see how Garrett puts it all together!

HELP THE RESTORE REDHOOK !!!!!

WHAT HAPPENED?
Our neigborhood of Red Hook, Brooklyn has been left flooded and in shambles following Hurricane Sandy. Countless homes, shops, artist studios, restaurants, bars, and workshops have been devastated. Despite this recent hardship, the heart of this vibrant community cannot be washed away. While our own storefront office flooded, the losses are minimal compared to the dire situation in the neighborhood.

WHAT’S NEXT?
Castelli Cycling has generously stepped up to produce a pair of special benefit jerseys with us to help raise funds for Red Hook’s recovery. Designed by Jonah Birns, the jerseys will bepre-sold exclusively on Gage+DeSoto until December 1st. After production is complete, we will be shipping these in mid-January.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
All profits from these jerseys will be split between the Red Hook Initiative (RHI) and Restore Red Hook (RRH). The RHI–an established community center–is operating as the critical organizer of relief efforts. Since then, Restore Red Hook has also been set up to help the many devastated small businesses of Red Hook reopen their doors as soon as possible.

Available in race weight short sleeve (also in Women’s sizes) or thermal long sleeve (Men’s only) | Please select size and style before you check out | Sizing chart
