THE CINELLI LEGACY
The handsome fellow in the image is Cino Cinelli, Italian champion of cycling and founder of the renowned Cinelli bicycle brand. Ridden by great cyclists like Fausto Coppi (1947) and Ole Ritter (1968), the Cinelli frames, forks and components are known for their superior quality and high-level craftsmanship. Their forged steel stems, for instance, are sought-after items that fetch high prices on the second-hand market. Go here for much more info and old images from the history of Cinelli.
