Cinelli Cinelli was founded in 1948 by Cino Cinelli, a former professional road racer and president of the Italian cyclists' association. He was a professional racer from 1937 to 1944, winning Milan-San Remo in 1943, the Giro di Lombardia in 1938, and the Tour of the Apennines in 1937. Cino became interested in bicycle technology after mechanical failures in races, however he wasn't able to interest manufacturers with his ideas, leading him in 1946 to start his own company. By 1970's annual production of bars, stems etc reached 150,000 however Cinelli never made more than 700 frames a year. The staple product has always been the Super Corsa which has been in production since 1947. Mosquito specialise in the two Italian built frames, the iconic SuperCorsa and the new XCR built from Columbus's XCR stainless steel tubing, both of which are built to order in stock or custom geometry. We also can supply any of the Taiwanese built framesets. |
