Marcialonga was born in 1971, when four friends decided to take part in the famous Swedish cross-country competition “Vasaloppet”. Upon returning to Italy, to their valleys in the region of Trentino, they wanted to start up a similar competition, as demanding, in a special environment full of significance and emotions which only snow and mountains can transmit.
In 2007 the baptism of Marcialonga Cycling, attracted 1500 cyclists. This race can definitely gain recognition as one of the “Classic” races in the Italian Granfondo circuit.
The European Handmade Bicycle Exhibition brings together professional and and frames from all over Europe and beyond. The EHBE was the first show of its kind in Europe, with the first gathering of this unique event held in 2009.
In much the same way as a tailor will measure the customer to produce a suit that fits exactly, it is possible to produce a bicycle that fits its rider precisely. This makes for a more comfortable, efficient and enjoyable bike, one the owner will enjoy riding and will want to cherish.
MSH1 Bicycle Works goes Solar " Fabricating Bicycles with support from the Sun " " Turning photons into profit, and a healthier planet "
Our purchased and wholly owned 7.2kW Solar Photovoltaic System was installed at MSH1 Bicycle Works in March 2011 by Aegis Solar Energy
Our Solar System was energized on March 11, 2011 (ironically, on the same day as the magnitude 9.0 earthquake in Japan, and resulting nuclear disaster).
With installation of a Solar PV System at MSH1, the amount of electricity used to support my shop facilities is fully offset in excess by that supplied by the power of the sun.
Additionally, a Solar Thermal system has been added to further surplus the entire Solar System energy output.
MSH1 operations are carbon negative (i.e. more net carbon is removed from the environment than is released into it).
