The Cinelli Mash has made a well deserved name for itself in the fixed gear market in their years of production. It may appear that Cinelli simply applies different color schemes to the Mash and Mash Histogram framesets from year to year or from model to model, but as Cinelli reiterates this is far from the truth. I can vouch for this as well, having ridden a number of them myself. For example, the new 2015 histogram pictured below offers the benefits of a tapered head tube, a massive upgrade from the previous year’s model. This tapered head tube comes with a Columbus 1 1/8 to 1.5 carbon fork for match. This design makes the already agile MASH Histogram more responsive and with better cornering capabilities than ever before. Of course, all the benefits of snappiness and a responsiveness of the Columbus tubing are carried over to the new 2015 model.
Last year the Cinelli Mash Parallax was introduced. This was introduced as Cinelli’s quintessential criterium track frame. Thorough research and field testing with the MASH team has gone into the development of this frame to make it the best race bike for street or track that MASH has ever offered. As with the MASH Histogram, the parallax has a tapered head tube with a Columbus 1 1/8 to 1.5 carbon fork for match, offering the same benefits of responsiveness and better cornering capabilities than any other. Cinelli has used the Columbus Airplane (Supersection oversized shape) 7005-T6 aluminum tubing on this frame, super fast and responsive. This frame is perhaps the most eager ever produced in the MASH line as a result of fine tuning the geometry for race specifics.
All Cinelli Mash frames come with a drillable front fork for mounting a road brake caliper. They also all come standard with fork, a headset, seat clamp, and replaceable stainless steel dropout inserts. Don’t be distraught by the price tag, I can tell you from experience that these bikes are packed with value, and worth every penny. I have never met anyone who has regret investing the money in a Cinelli Mash frame. Upon riding it, you will feel the difference immediately, one of the most responsive, snappy, and eager track bikes I have ever ridden.
