MASH Transit

AC2 framesets will be available Wednesday, January 6th at 9am PT at mashsf.com. If you have been waiting for this release, please be sure to be quick on our site. Have your shipping and payment method saved in your browser so you can auto-fill. Don’t add more items to the order, because you can loose a frame out of your cart if someone checks out first. We wish these releases did not feel rushed like this and that we had enough frames to last a year, but 2021 is going to be... a challenging year for small bike brands like us. As timelines for production double, and prices increase due to pandemic reactions from raw materials to shipping, smaller brands find it hard to compete. MASH is healthy and will weather this chapter, and continue to produce what inspires us, and as always, we are lucky to share this with you. 2019 + 2020 has been focused on development for us, and now it’s time for more riding in 2021 !

Phosphate dipped with matte clear is one of the three finishes of AC2 framesets coming next week. We wanted to make a refined take on these stripped bikes, we and love how they came out. There will be 6 sizes of AC framesets, and about 40 of each color, which means we may only get 3 of one finish in a smaller or larger size. Check back for updates. This will most likely be the only batch of these frames for 2021, with @bluelug @goldsprint and @spellboundcompany getting a few from this delivery. Check with them if they are your local shop. More details soon!

We will be back at the shop on the 29th. Shop orders from today on will start shipping again in about a week. Thank you for including us in your life, especially this year. We feel bike people are on a good path. Active, optimistic, creative, bright, and with a connection to the earth. Looking forward to be life long learners together, using the bike as our shared connection. Enjoy the ride.

UNRWA fundraiser cap: Link in photo Serving 44% of the world’s long-term refugees, UNRWA provides vital assistance and protection to more than five million Palestine refugees living in Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank. We will donate proceeds from the sale of these 100 caps to UNRWA in the first quarter of 2021. Thanks for your support.

Thanks for the fun week at the shop! Monday we will pause our shop, and mail packages next week. Looking forward to riding some bikes, clean up around here, chip away at a revolution. We will be back for curbside hangouts NOV 25th. If you are waiting on any updates from us, we should get all caught up next week. Thanks for your patience, it’s been a little 2020 around here.

We are really excited for the next batch of AC frames to arrive in early January. This is our second run with a few new changes, and available in 3 unique finishes. Framesets will also be available in limited supply at @bluelug @goldsprint @spellboundcompany This might be our only Alleycat frameset delivery for 2021 so if you have been waiting, please stay tuned for pre-order updates from us and our partners in the coming weeks!

Fun build for @jklokoh before the break!

New riding shirts and neck gaiters are here! Brought back a few favorites, and added some new ones for this batch. Check our site for details. Available at Sanchez Street today 1-5pm too!

Damn, a couple of you really went off the rails yesterday, exposing real hate, but I’d rather have that toxic shit in the light than the shadows. It also reminded me how divisive folks can get in this small community when really, we should be coming together even more. Years ago, I bought a sweatshirt from Shardy + Cesar to support them early in their project, and this is what small brands do, we cheer for each other. I love they contribute in a positive way, and I admire the...ir tenacity as cyclists. But this admiration has nothing to do with the recent design of our shirt, if anything, it stems from our shared admiration for what the USPS symbolizes for Americans. It’s also iconic in cycling history that precedes the both of us. Whatever else people want to fill in between the lines is beyond our control, but MASH hopes that these spaces be open for real dialogue and less tribalism. We’re grateful to @unitedstatescourierservice, and have mad respect for them as we do for everyone who helps keep cycling fun. Mike

Visit curbside or mashsf.com this week! Monday we will pause our online shop and curbside for a month, and be back at the end of November. Sound ok? Thank you for being a registered, active, and informed voter, and rad bike human! Mike

Pt 2: Mountain Lion pre-race details

A few details from the start of last weekends Mountain Lion alleycat. 2 manifests, 60+ miles, 18 checkpoints, what was the elevation? Thanks for organizing @4rensho @sfbma

The morning after the 2019 Mission Crit, we followed Evan as he climbed up to Tahoe. This selection shows the range of landscape and energy we experienced along the way. Thank you @rualrite @calbustin @sasha.prproj !

Feel lucky to get to live with this @philfrost painted @bob_haro plate here at the shop. Decades of inspiration from these two!

Working on stocking some new items this week. Racks, Cargo bibs, Nalgene bottles, socks and more. Check our site for updates. Curbside shopping is open 1-5 Wednesday and Thursday too!

We are starting to see riders getting and building up this batch of frames, and excited to see how you build them up! Some frames went out Friday, another wave went out today. We are currently packing frames from orders that came in at 9:22am on the 14th, and shipping in order we received them. All frames will get out this week, just expect it to take a few more days to get through packing them all. Orders without frames will ship later in the week as we get caught up. No Amazon over here, and feel good about that, and feel lucky you love what we love! Will offer curbside this week for locals. Hope to see you soon!

@kosuke_masuda_5 sharing the energy! #sumiink

For those who ordered a frame from us this week, you should get an email with tracking information in the next few days. Frames will start shipping Monday. Locals will be able to pick up frames Tuesday 1-5pm. Please bring ID, and receipt. Once frames ship, we may have 3 or 4 frames, and will update here if we add them to our site. No extra green for sure. Stay tuned!

@miketschmitt opening it up

This is the highlight reel from 2019. Come races with @sfbma @the415king this weekend in SF!
