Mario Camilotto Website

One of Cinelli's framebuilders in the 1980s was Mario Camilotto. A website dedicated to him has been launched: www.mariocamilotto.com. The bio for Mario states that be did the framebuilding for Cinelli, of primarily Super Corsas, from 1988 to 1991. I will translate some of the information contained in the website in the future.

Camilotto during the period he was framebuilding for Cinelli.

One of the 400 Camilotto frames made under his name.

2012 Super Corsa, and Serial Numbers

A reader sent me this photo of his new Supercorsa, made with Columbus SL. It has a serial number of Z012.

I'm told by Cinelli that this serial numbering system was implemented in 2010 in which the first letter represents a year and the following numbers represents the frame number for that year. Z corresponds to 2012 so this would have been the twelfth frame in 2012.

btw, the reader is recovering from a back problem so hence the build for now.
