The Radavist

Antonio Colombo has had a crucial role in the identity of Cinelli and last year at the 2012 Bicycle Film Festival, this interview was shot. Listen up (or read) to five minutes of reflection on the brand.

Kevin Mihovich wanted his Cinelli Mash track bike to stand out from the rest by being hidden. Does that make sense? So he commissioned West Coast Hydrographix in Redwood City, CA to cover his bike in real tree camo. Then,  he enlisted the help of his friend Arthur Alvarez to do a photoshoot in the woods. Pretty clever. Check out more below!

No one photographs the ladies like Andy White. Just look at her. Gumwall 23c tires, suede Unicanitor, Campagnolo Nuovo Record, and that frame, she’s perfection! See more at Fyxomatosis.

Love the Cinelli Laser? Not into the new carbon model? Got $17,000 collecting dust? Look no further.

Yow! That’s a good looking bike. Cinelli is pushing their carbon Laser model, the Viva pretty hard and we can all see why. I first showed it to you in my Interbike coverage and now, here’s a crispy studio shot. Head on over to Bike Motion to vote for this bike. It’s in Dutch but Chrome’s translator works wonders. Also, for anyone wanting the high res of the above photo, I upped it here.

So yeah, the Red Hook Crit Milano sign up came and went (sorry for not posting that up) but a full roster means another packed year with an ever-increasing sense of competition. And with the prizes this year, there’s no wonder people will be gunning for it.

Check out the full shot of the 2012 Red Hook Crit Milano prize Vigorelli below, along with some other teasers!

Mike posted up some great photos of a Histogram build over at the Mash blog. Head on over and check the rest out.

This just in from Rizzoli New York. It seems the fully-illustrated hard cover book, Cinelli The Art and Design of the Bicycle by Lodovico Pignatti Morano, is slated to be released next month, so head out to your local book store and pick one up.

For now, check out the full press-release below and expect a review shortly!

Fyxomatosis always brings the surprises and this beautiful photograph is only part of his Friday-morning delight. Head on over to Fyxomatosis to see some custom-pantographed modern Campy cranks and how you can get a free-high res download of this photo (or you could donate some cash to him).

Mash just posted their pre-order for the 2013 SSCX bikes. Get on it now. A lot of time went into designing these bikes and everyone’s super pumped on them.

Bens Cycle’s blog has a great scan up of the 1994 Cinelli catalog. You’ve gotta check it out!

For once, I’m actually sitting on some great Merckx Mondays content, so I’m going to let it float me for a few posts. This week, we’ll start off with Cooper Ray‘s lovely photos of Jay’s Colorado Merckx road. These photos were taken for Cultivar, a new enterprise arising in Brooklyn. More on that later, for now, let’s check out these lovely photos, taken on a Brooklyn rooftop, just before a sunset. Shots like this make me miss NYC.

For 2013, Cinelli has many new offerings but the one release I’m most impressed with is the collaboration with Mash on a new SSCX frameset. I know a lot of work went into this bike, so expect these frames to be a great option for race season next year. Or just some off-road fun.

Here’s the full video from that teaser I posted a few weeks back. If you recall, 397,27 is the length of the Velodromo Maspes-Vigorelli. Thanks for sharing Marco!

I have no idea what this is but I like it. Thanks for the heads up Tracko!
