Interracial: Maylan's 2011 Cinelli MASH Histogram

Here is Maylan's other bike, "Interracial", one of the earliest MASH Histograms here in Manila. I like how he mixed several "component nationalities" on this one. The best parts on hand for the best personal ride experience.

Check out more after the break.

Aaron's Flying Bolt

Aaron's lovingly ridden but very well maintained bike is, in my opinion, one of the best 2012 Cinelli MASH Bolt set-ups out there. I like how it has evolved since he first got it. The current set-up with the silver crank and wheel set is my favorite.

"It has been a year of mixing and matching different parts on my bike, which has gone through 3 different setups before I really got satisfied with both looks and performance. And now, I only need to change the seatpost and I'm finally done. Hopefully."

Current specs and more images after the break.

Fixum X85 Track: Custom Ave Maldea

This is the… nth build of Marvi from Singapore. The most recent Maldea custom frame set from his "Fixum Machina" series, it is built from a mix of Columbus and Dedacciai steel with the Cannondale '93 track as his peg look-wise. Neat.

Specs and more photos after the jump.

Mon's 2012 Bianchi Super Pista

Finally able to convince Mon of Team Manila to have his bike featured here at the blog. Been wanting to do this for a while since MFG and Team Manila have had several collaborations already. So here it is.

Check out more images, the specs and what Mon has to say about this Celeste beauty after the jump.

Wham's WeFXD X Colossi X Crest Pursuit Low Pro

Wham is the man responsible for the overall graphics and head badge design of this WeFXD X Colossi frameset collaboration. Obviously, that's a big factor for him to get his hands on one of this Low Pros. Plus the fact that he has been thinking of owning an aluminum frame for quiet a while now.

We all know that Wham is one of the fastest cats around. Always on the top three, if not winning almost every alleycat and other races in the past. I can only see him getting faster with this aluminum beast of a bike. "I'm very happy with this build. Fast, light and ready for the next hill climbing race and hill bombing long ride, hehe." Straight talk from the fast cat himself.

Check out the specs and more images after the jump.

Don's NJS Shimazaki

Here's a rare NJS beauty from our "fixer" bro in New York. Some of you might have met or seen Don at the last Tour of the Firefly ride riding a neon orange Bridgestone track bike. That bike was a loaner and this here, is his real steed. 

Check out a little story he wrote about his bike and the specs after the jump.

The Suspect Device

Kenneth has been riding this build through various towns and cities around Laguna (San Pablo, Calauan, Bay, Los Banos, Calamba, Santa Cruz/Pagsanjan boundary…), as well as through different parts of the Metro Manila. He also joined the Tagaytay Hill Bombing 2 Ride on this bike. So far, so good he says. I say I love it! A solid custom Maldea frameset and a conflagration of yummy Japanese parts.

He shot this photoset during his last visit to Sampaloc Lake in San Pablo Laguna. Please check more images and the specs after the jump.

Tim's Custom Maldea Track Build

This is one of the cleanest builds I see around here. Tim can be very meticulous with his bikes and we can clearly see that character in this build.
