MAKE A STATEMENT!- March 2008A fun design and a play on words, the MAS frame represents a blank comic dialogue bubble. The bike gives its rider both a literal and figurative platform for self-expression in addition to generating an instant audience wherever it goes. When it was first completed, Josh loved the frame but hated the front end. Sometimes a 2D drawing just doesn’t translate to an interesting finished piece. As a result MAS, sat lonely in the corner of the shop for over a year while other concepts where developed. When it was finally revisited the front end was reworked and the bike is now one of the most interesting designs in the collection. Polished nickel on carbon steel, hand-tooled deerskin leather seat and grips, pedal powered with coaster brake. The first bikes of our bikes that included both gas power and gas-saving pedal power; they represent an evolving focus on ecologically sustainable principals and were, in essence, our first hybrids. |
