Friday News

I posted this over on my own blog as well as the new Masi Friends, Fans and Owners page on Facebook, but thought I'd share it here too...

We are in the early stages of finally developing new Masi clothing. Yes, you read that right- there WILL be new Masi clothing before the start of the next century. Once artwork is completed and approved, I will post it here and elsewhere for all to see. I am hoping... HOPING... to have the artwork done by the end of January so that we can hopefully see delivery of the clothing around the April time frame.

Here's the plan;

• There will be one "Team Masi" kit of jersey and bib short. This will have a retro-themed race look to it.
  
• There will be one full-retro jersey. This will have a totally retro/ vintage look and feel to it.
  
• There might be a matching "Team Masi" vest or jacket/ wind shell- if there is enough demand for it.
• Soon after the riding apparel is developed, we will also have a couple of t-shirt designs ready for you.
  
• We're also looking at possibly doing a cycling cap, with very retro designing.
  
• After much demand, we're also working on getting a few stickers done as well. Possibly a simplified version of the large dealer window decals we have done for years and then possibly just some simple "Masi" lettering stickers and small head badge artwork stickers.

It's been a long, long time in the making, but now that there is a break in the development process, there is finally the time to actually jump on these projects. As soon as we have more to share- we certainly will.

So now you can save all that money Santa leaves in your stocking and set it aside for some sweet Masi goodness!

(UPDATE- 12/21; there is now a poll up on my blog to vote for your preferred article/s of clothing... so go make your voice heard!)

We're in business again!

After a little "glitch" last night into this early afternoon, the new Masi website is back again.

Even though we're here and prettier than ever, this new site is still something of a work in progress. We're functional, but we're gonna be getting better each day.

Your feedback is critical to us, since this site is here to serve you- not just for us to talk about how great we think the bikes are... we're hoping to hear you talk about how great the bikes are! With that in mind, please email your comments or suggestions (or corrections) directly to me- Tim Jackson; tjackson (at) MasiBikes (dot) com.

We're just getting started here and the continued evolution is going to be an exciting one. So join us in creating the next chapter in the Masi legend.

Welcome to the New and Improved Masi Website!

Thank you for coming to check out the new and completely overhauled Masi Bicycles website. The last few years have been very transforming for the Masi brand- in a very positive way. It is no stretch to say that the brand has evolved dramatically over the past few years to become what it is today... and that's a very good thing.


As you'll notice, if you've been to the Masi website before, this feels and looks a lot different from what we've done in the past. There's a reason for that; Masi itself looks and feels a lot different. You've hopefully noticed the much more dynamic and interactive blog inspired home page. You'll see new navigation and a sleeker overall feel to things. If you're at all like us- you like what you're seeing right now.

The scrolling bike images in the top right showcase our incredibly beautiful bikes quite nicely. The history of Masi, our "about us", in the middle of the right sidebar has been updated to play a more prominent role as well. And, if you look down low on the right, you'll also see a link to the Masiguy blog... yep, that's me. For the past 3 years, I've been a blogging fool as I've tried to reconnect the Masi brand with all who care to know. You can scroll through the bikes here on the site, or if you want a little more quality time with our bikes, you can download a pdf of the 2009 catalog- just up in the right hand corner below our beautiful head badge.

This new site is guaranteed to be more dynamic and will offer more information as we continue to build and develop things here. You'll see updates on the Kenda Pro Cycling team, proudly sponsored by Masi Bicycles, as well as other news. We'll be bringing you inside information on new bikes, special offers, videos on products, team updates from the riders themselves and all sorts of things we haven't even figured out yet. It's a bright new dawn for us.

You might've also noticed a tab up above titled "Riders". This is where we'll be posting news and updates about the team, but it's also a new gallery of Masi owners and their bikes that we hope to build with YOUR help. Why? Because this website is as much about you as it is about us and the bikes we make. This is your Masi too, after all. We are happy to share your love of your bike with the rest of the world, so send us your Masi story and a photo or two. We look forward to building this community WITH you.

So thank you for stopping by and for taking the time to read all of this. From all of us here at Masi Bicycles- thank you for your support.
