Head to the Internet Movie Database and you can learn that Friday is the day "two homies, Smokey and Craig, smoke a dope dealer's weed and try to figure a way to get the $200 they owe to the dealer by 10pm that same night. In that time, they smoke more weed, get jacked, and they get shot at in a drive-by".
If your Friday isn't proving nearly as interesting as that 1995 film (7.3/10 stars!) sounds, we at BikeRadar have a little something to see you through the remaining hours of your working week. So cue up some Ice Cube, grab a cup of a coffee, and sit back for this week's round-up of new bikes and kit…
Best new road bike gear
Cinelli Mash Parallax
Remember 2008, when fixie crews roamed the savannah, picking off stragglers from the mainstream herd of cycling? When youths in bars compared gear inches and talked in hushed tones of the god they called 'NJS'? The attention may have shifted to gravel, fat bikes and ironic cyclocross, but fixed gears certainly haven't gone away. The Mash Parallax is the latest in a line of collaborations between Italian bike maker Cinelli and San Francisco team-cum-bike-shop MASH, with the latter supplying its graphic design skills.

Sold as a frameset, the Parallax is a "criterium track frame" (think Red Hook or similar), with steep angles, a low-offset fork and a high bottom bracket so you don't ground a pedal as you lean the bike over. It's constructed from Columbus Airplane aluminium tubes, and comes with a fork that's drilled for a front brake, but plugged and painted over so it won't mess with the aesthetics if you aren't fitting one.
