2011 Cinelli Vigorelli Framesets Are In!

Even thought there is snow and ice on the ground, hot new products keep rolling through the door. Just received our first order of 2011 Cinelli Frames, and the new Vigorelli is looking great. Not typically my style, but I am talking myself out of "needing" one of these for my personal fleet. So do me a favor, come on down and let me build one for you so I can spend some of this creative energy on it. Thank you.

You can find some more info HERE. Not up to date with the new color, but you get the idea. Now selling for $850!

Just a teaser until we return from the Catskills!

Travis' new Cinelli MASH! Thanks for letting me put this together for you. More pics after we get back from our holiday shenanigans.

New Cinelli MASH In Green!

We sold our last 55cm MASH a little while ago when Tony decided he needed a new "FAST" bike. I had been waiting for more of the grey fames to come back into stock but it is going to be a few weeks before that happens. So we grabbed a green one instead.

I had not ordered any in green as of yet because when I saw the sample at Interbike in September I really didn't like the color. Some pics have been surfacing of the new production version, and the color is sweet. A very nice bright green with a little sparkle.

So if you have been wanting to check one of these out now is your chance. Just the one in 55cm for now, we still have a 53cm in grey.

She looks very nice!

Sunday Cruisin'

Met up with my pal Adam, it has been a while since we got to hang. He just moved back to the city and we figured we would take a spin and play catch up. So we rolled out on our Cinelli's down to FDR.

Nice spot to ride around the lake and stop to enjoy the breeze.

FDR neighbors I-95 and is home to one badass skate park.

I wasn't about to carve the concrete on my Super-Corsa Pista, but there were plenty of kids out shredding on this awesome Sunday afternoon.

After we left the park we rolled up Broad St and hit up this new-ish coffee spot Ultimo, very good coffee, I can understand why everybody has been talking about this place.

It was great to get out and stretch the legs a bit and catch up with a good friend. When I work six days a week, gotta take advantage of Sunday!

Chris' New Cinelli Gazzetta!

One of our favorite health care professionals, Chris Fox, decided to treat himself to a new track bike this spring. He saw my earlier post about the new Cinelli Gazzetta framesets and headed on down to get him one and plan the build.

I was super excited to build him another bike and to use some modern yet classic pieces to make it proper.

I built him some Velocity Aero rims to some Halo Track hubs for a very clean and classic wheelset. The Aero rims are one of my all time favorites, they remind me of the old Araya and Wolber track rims. A really sweet wheelset if I say so myself. I am building two pairs of these rims courtesy of Velocity and All-City as prizes for the Maypril Fools Ride!

Drop bars, cloth tape and Challenge Skinwall tires, and a Turbo saddle!

This is one smooth ride, thanks a lot Chris for letting me put this one together for you.

Tony Fast's New Cinelli Mash!

So Tony has been bugging me to get him a Mash frame for a couple of weeks. I was out of stock as was Cinelli-Usa. I told him I'd get him one ASAP.

It arrived yesterday, and Tony shows up at 5pm asking if I could just throw it together for him real quick with the parts from his Fuji. Hahaha, I made him come back in the morning so I could do it up proper.

We cleaned up his old parts and put them on the Cinelli. Straightened out his bent saddle a little and He was good to go.

Except for those wheels, can take responsibility for those. I think they are butt ugly, at least I trued them...

And then I pee'd on it just to baptize it for him. Thanks Tony, enjoy your new go "fast" whip!

Cinelli Gazzetta Frame Sets!

Just received a handful of the new Cinelli Gazzetta Framesets.

This latest offering from Cinelli sells for $700. Tig welded Columbus tubing. Some nice simple accents and details. Like this integrated seat collar, with star decal accents.

Tapered fork legs with beveled "crown"

Brushed stainless steel dropout faces.

Just the Dark Grey color for now. Hopefully we will get some of the other colors as the season progresses. Come check them out!

Sunny Sunday Ride On My Cinelli

I built up my Cinelli Super-Corsa Pista last year, it was a slow project and I had yet to take it out for a ride before the weather went south for the winter. Finally the sun decided to visit us again and I had a few hours Sunday afternoon to go play and I decided to take her out for the maiden voyage. I rode out to the Philadelphia Museum of Art to watch the tourists run up the "Rocky Steps".

Rolled through Love Park, such a beautiful view through the statue down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway with the museum in the background.

Then rolled south down Broad St. to check out a little bike swap meet happening outside of MIke's Bikes. And then visited my friend Elissa at her store, Nice Things. The mural is in her back yard, a couple of old heads painted it for her it makes for a nice backdrop.

Looking forward to getting it out a lot more this year. I have collected the bits and pieces for years, it was really nice to ride them all together on such a beautiful frame. I will take some more detailed pics later and give you the full tour and background stories about some of the parts.
