CINELLI ROAD BIKES 2011 - ifixie

Cinelli’s 2011 lineup sees a few model upgrades like the Best Of, above, some spec updates and the entirely new mid-range Saetta lineup.

The Pro Best Of frame up top isn’t their lightest bike, but it’s their premier example of carbon and bike building technology. It’s a sloping geometry frame built with co-curing, hand-wrapped Columbus XLR8R Plus 3K twill carbon fibers and tubes.
The rear triangle has been redesigned to drop weight, and the Best Of now sports a tapered head tube. Altogether, the frame dropped 200g from the prior year and now comes in at 1050g (Medium w/ uncut seatmast).

It gets a Columbus Genius tapered carbon fork (390g), Pressfit BB30 and integrated seatmast with a new carbon wedge system to mount the seat clamp. It’s available in two colorways, including the black up above as a frameset for $3,700. Or, you can break the bank and special order the full Shimano Di2 bike above with carbon Dura-Ace wheels, color-matched carbon stem and bar for a mere $14,000.

Check the rest after the break…
