Chromesprints are GO!

Last weekend, the Velo City Tour blasted into San Francisco and our good friends over at Chrome Bags were on the receiving end of the fun. The folks at Chrome do a fine job of detailing the activities- which look like they were amazingly fun (which leads to much jealousy here)- so I'll let them do the talking here.

The Velo City Tour rolled through San Francisco this weekend in a flurry of bike related activity. The pre-party held at Chrome had over 300 folks attend- messengers and city bikers alike. At the party the centerpiece was the Chromesprints set up projecting on to the big screen. We raced over 60 people for 3 hours of mayhem. The wheels kept spinning till we had a winner who walked away with a new Warsaw backpack from Chrome Bags filled with beer and a cruiser bike from New Belgium Beer. Everyone had a great time and we look forward to doing it again soon. Stay tuned to the Chrome Bike Bulletin for news about upcoming events. Thanks to Masi Bikes for all the help and the bikes and to New Belgium for providing the 6 kegs we blew through during the night.

Dang! That sounds like more fun that a barrel of monkeys... monkeys with accordions and those little funny hats! To see more of the pictures from the night, check out the Chrome Dispatch photostream on Flickr.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Velo City Tour and the Chromesprints- and keep your eyes peeled for the black Chrome van cruising your streets.

Masi Bicycles and Chrome Bags Join forces for Velo City Tour Goldsprints

Masi Bicycles teams up with Chrome Bags

in support of the Chrome Velo City Tour Goldsprints.

********

Vista, CA- Masi Bicycles proudly announces their partnership with Chrome Bags to support the Chrome Velo City Tour Goldsprints, or “Chromesprints” as they may grow to be known this summer.

“When the opportunity to work with Chrome was presented to us, we immediately jumped”, stated Masi Brand Manager, Tim Jackson. “Chrome is indisputably one of the most iconic brands in the entire urban cycling world- that griffin and seat belt buckle bag strap is as recognizable as our headbadge!” Masi Bicycles has become a staple of the urban cycling scene over the past few years and this new relationship with Chrome is a perfect marriage of great brands. As Jackson said, “Chrome came to us for the bikes because they’re fans of the products we make and we said yes because we are fans of the products they make- it just makes so much sense on so many levels.”

Masi has provided Chrome with three of its very popular Speciale Fixed LTD bicycles to be used in the Goldsprints roller races that will take place in several cities including the Tour party in San Francisco on June 26^th. When the bikes and Goldsprints set up is not on the road, it will be proudly on display in the Chrome retail store in San Francisco.

The famous Chrome black van will be transporting the Goldsprint set-up from location to location. Check out Chrome Messenger Bags and the Masi Bicycles website (www.masibikes.com) for tour information and details.
