As one of the elite northern Italian bike brands with a deep history and emphasis on innovation, Cinelli road bikes present a special combination of the traditional and the funky. Founded in 1948 by a retired pro who was tired of bikes and parts failing, Cinelli quickly became a byword for quality and design.
From handlebars to Cinelli framesets
Through the years the company made its mark with innovative handlebars and stems, but it is with the development of the Cinelli frames that the brand won a place in the hearts of many a cycling aficionado. The designers have stayed true to the steel roots and continue to create high quality steel Cinelli road bike frames using Columbus tubing expertise.
Moving with modern trends, they make rim brake as well as disc brake options in a variety of frame materials. In fact, Cinelli road framesets can be made from steel, aluminum, titanium, and carbon. Some may have road race-oriented geometries while others are endurance-oriented with more relaxed geometries.
Cinelli road frames to single speeds
Cinelli has in recent years emerged as among the favorite single speed road bike options for the crazy, frenetic world of single speed street racing. These are Cinelli road frames with an emphasis on track racing on the road thanks to the aggressive geometry and single speed speed, fixed gear, 1x setup.
In spite of the brand's rich history which includes road racing victories at the highest level from the Tour de France to the Giro d’Italia to Olympic gold medals, Cinelli road bike frames focus as much on fun as performance.
Most known Cinelli road frames
Cinelli focused his business on his beautiful branded stems and handlebars but also produced around 700 frames a year. Amongst these frames is the venerable Super Corsa or “Special Corsa” with its unique fast-back stays, sloping fork crown and incredible craftsmanship. The road frames Cinelli made were of such high quality and rode so well that that they are to this day considered legendary and prized by collectors and museums worldwide.
The legend continues with Antonio Columbo of Columbus Tubing at the helm. Together, the legacy of the Cinelli company continues with incredible innovation and the production of some of the finest road frames & bikes available, anywhere.
