Lance's WeFXD X Colossi Low Pro


One of the best frame sets that came out last year. Fast, aggressive and limited production, the WeFXD X Colossi Low Pro collaboration is on it's way to being a modern classic. Lance Manuel's take here shows it off in it's full glory with a Miche track grupo and other high end parts. I like the "just-enough" red accents given off by the Fizik saddle and the 3T ARX stem. It's poppin'.

Check out more after the break.

Pinarello Diesel


I think this is the only Pinarello Diesel fixed that I know of here in Manila. How lucky of Albert to get a hold of this rare beast!

Check out more pics and the story behind this bike after the break.

Bam's MASH Histogram "Fuck Bike"


The 2014 Histogram will be on our shores soon and this very first model will be a "classic" soon so let's make the most out of it. Plus, Bam's answers to my queries about his bike are hella tight!

"Personal high lang" was his answer when I asked him why he chose the Cinelli MASH Histogram for his latest build. "I first saw the MASH SF videos way, way back when there were just very few riders here in Manila. The Cinelli MASH frames became my constant favorite since then. Even after I had my Ave frame, the Histogram has always been on my wish list."

"The first ride was rude" Bam observes. "I guess because the frame is super lightweight and stiff as fuck! But it's sweet on the climbs and I can ride it as fast as I want. 'Parang ginagahasa' lang yung term that comes into mind, kaya 'fuck bike' ang tawag ko sa kanya.”

Tik's "Green Minded" Pista Build


A speed freak, and one of the most aggressive and impatient riders i know, Tik went the opposite way and took his time -about one year- in building up this beautiful custom Maldea track bike. From the angles of the frame to the choices of components, his build is definitely worth the wait!

Kalki's 2013 Vigorelli


Now, this Vigo is looking really neat and nasty. Former "Ultraman" and winner of the last Pusakalye alley cat race, Kalki once told me that he wants to try a less aggressive frame set, hence this Vigorelli build. But from the looks of it, i have a strong feeling that he will be riding even more aggressively now.

Beautiful bike and beautiful images. Thanks to Cedric Buenviaje for the photographs.

Fixum Machina Updated


We all know by now of the story of how Marvi, who is based in Singapore, collaborated with Ave thru the internet to come up with this pursuit frameset. This same build has gone thru some changes since we first featured it here in the blog.

Check out the updated parts after the break.

Fixum Machina


We all know that Maldea frames have been going place for some time now. This one here was built in Manila and then built up in Singapore. Thanks to the internet, this pursuit track frame was created after several email exchanges between it's proud owner, Marvi and it's maker, Ave.

Legnano Remixed


This was an old road frame "converted" into a track frame. With the help of Ave Maldea, we were able to adjust the geometry to a more aggressive configuration. We also changed the seat lug from stamped to investment cast. The Italian threaded bottom bracket has also been replaced with an English threaded one. Finally, the horizontal dropouts were replaced with stainless steel track ends.
