Cinelli Vigorelli x Mash SF Fixed Gear Bike

With the 2008 Las Vegas Interbike show in full swing, our minds are finally given some closure on big names like Cinelli and MASH SF. Introducing a Cinelli Vigorelli x Mash SF fixed gear bike, which was unveiled today. There wasn’t much text about it on MASH SF’s blog but judging from the photographs, I’d bet this thing halls ass.

There will only be twelve made, colorways raw and some white; And they will be for friends and family only.  – Thanks Brad!

Besides its street appeal, very little is known about this Fuji track bike. However, its close resemblance of Fuji’s 2008 Fuji x Obey has speculators guessing this fixed gear bike is the Fuji x Obey 2009 version. The urban styles of both track bikes are emerging in cities everywhere, but without the help of manufacturing assembly lines; More commonly bikes like these usually start life out at someone’s home, one piece at a time. Has Fuji tapped into the urban fixed gear scene? We’d like to thinks so.

Like the Fuji x Obey that was dropped for 2008, Fuji’s untitled track bike features a black/charcoal matted theme with a red seat post, frame neck, handlebars, wheel sets, tires, graphics, and other red accents rather than gold - to accentuate the bikes beauty. The only clue Fuji left us with is the word “League” (whatever that means) printed on the frame. We were unable to get our hands on any specs, but we’re on the look out.

Even though more people are taking notice to the fixed gear scene, it’s surprising to see this fixie inspired art piece by Disney in collaboration with The Hundreds – an urban apparel outfitter. The piece on the left features an unfamiliar Disney character throwing up the peace sign while leaning up against a fixie. The second collabo (on the right) features another one of Disney’s characters that happens to be sporting a messenger bag. Both characters are dressed in hipster wear. This Disney x The Hundreds art piece goes to show track bikes are continuing to grow in popularity; And we’re sure with Disney come more enthusiasts.

The one of a kind Kidrobot x Nemesis Project fixies is by far the sickest track bike I’ve ever seen. The creator, Brad Hodges from the Nemesis Project built this bike 100% from scratch for Kidrobot – an urban toy and appeal shop with a deep interest in art. The bike was originally created to celebrate the grand opening of Kidrobot’s new flagship store in Miami, Florida, before venturing to a small bike shop in Sacramento, California where it’s awaiting someone with $6,000.00 to buy it.

Both Brad and the founders of Kidrobot put a lot of thought into customizing this bike. Even the sterling silver Kidrobot head emblem, which was done by Osa at Complete Technique, on the front of the frame is proprietary. It doesn’t stop there. The Kidrobot bike also comes with a u-lock that matches in color, a Kidrobot keychain, and a seat made out of Ostrich, to name a few.

Here are some more specifications I found on Brand’s site (I think) pertaining to the Kidrobot x Nemesis Project fixed gear.

In collaboration with Obey, Fuji, the founders of the “Tour of Japan” has created this retro looking Limited addition Fixed Gear track bike for the urban streets of every city. The Fuji Elios 2 frame, feature a Matte Black finish with graphics by OBEY. The bike is dressed in gold parts, which complements the frame’s color.

When I first set eyes on Fuji x Obey’s retro looking track bike at a shop in San Francisco, it didn’t appeal to me. For a manufactured bike, it certainly wasn’t bad; but for a Fuji x Obey, I expected a lot more, as I do with all collaborations. However, their popularity among urban boutique display windows allowed for many double takes. I liked the over all design, its colors, and high quality parts; I came to the conclusion that it was just something about Obey’s graphics that irked me. MSRP: $1420.
