Cinelli Laser, Now in Carbon

The Cinelli Laser, the full carbon version, is now available as the "Laser Mia".

From the website:
The Laser, Cinelli icon, thanks to the work of the Laser Team is now a carbon jewel. All Made in Italy through a sophisticated wrapping technique of the carbon elements that are further processed, it is possible to build a custom frame of only 890g. All the elements identifying the Laser are maintained: the fin under the bottom bracket, the fittings of the joints and the passage of the rear wheel housed in the seat tube.
  • The cable routing is fully internal for both mechanical and electronic groups.
  • The rear aluminum CNC dropouts sandwich wrap the central carbon part fully integrated to the rear stays.
  • A proper anodized aluminum cap positioned under the fin of the bottom bracket allows easy access for routing the shift cables.
  • Head tube 1 "1/8 and BSA bottom bracket
For comparison here is a built-up Laser Mia compared to a 1980s steel Laser:

    Lucas Brunelle Goes to Africa (on a Hobo)


    Lucas Brunelle goes to Africa from Cinelli Official on Vimeo.

    The short-film “Lucas Brunelle goes to Africa”, exclusively shown on preview during the Road World Championships in Florence, is now online on at CinelliTV https://vimeo.com/76049367. We are talking about an incredible 7 minutes-long video filmed by Lucas Brunelle, the most famous film maker in the alternative and urban cycling worlds. Produced by Cinelli and edited by Benny Zenga during the 11th edition of the Tour d’Afrique (12.000 Km, 8 stages, 80 riders), ultimate test for Cinelli's new bike designed for touring and adventure: Cinelli Hobo. Double-butted steel frame with never-rust treatment, a great mix of CycloCross and Touring geometries for a “sprinting comfort”, Tubus Carriers, fenders, three bottlecage supports and oversize down tube: just some of the many amazing features of Hobo. The latest Cinelli icon. Following the steps of Laser, Rampichino, Bootleg and Fixies, Cinelli once again invents a new way to cycle and to interpret cycling! Hobo: Hit the road quick! Enjoy it! Team Cinelli.
