The new 2011 Mash looks sweet. The older ones are also legit.
I do agree that you should at least test ride a fixed gear bicycle... maybe find a friend that'll let you take a couple rides. If you have the money, go for it. Make sure you do adequate research if you do decide to sink a crap load of money into this bike.

the geometry on the mash frame is dumb for use primarily off the track. only the size xl is close to sensible geometry.

The same reason Jared Letto has... street cred yo; gotta get as much as you can get if ya know wut I'm sayin.
Jared Leto thought so too. Honestly, after seeing him on one, I've lost most of my respect for gazzeta riders... sorry guys.

Not sure why this persists when the majority of Mash frames are seen on the street... And it's also an amazing track bike. The super tight wooden velodrome I ride mine on is a blast with the Mash.
