Cinelli BMX



Peter writes, "I just found your email address while I was trying to find information on my Cinelli CMX-1 bmx bike I rode when I was a kid. I couldn't find much info on it and I was hoping you might be able to help me or even refer me to someone that might know more about these bikes. This bike was given to me as a gift in the early to mid 80's when I was just a kid. I used to ride my bike every day and collected quite a few bikes. I remember constantly being in the basement working on them with my father and using any money I had to buy new parts at our local bike shop. As I got older I put the bikes away and moved on to cars and motorcycles to play with. In any event, I was just cleaning out my basement and had to move my cinelli along with a hutch that I had. Every time I pick up that cinelli I'm amazed at how light it is - it seems like it ways nothing. Anyways, any http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifinformation you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help."

Cinelli BMX






My thanks to Russell, from Australia, for writing in with, "Please see attached pictures of a recently completed bike restoration, a 1979 or 1980 CMX.1 plus period brochures for this short lived Cinelli project. I have got a pair of Nisi 20" tubular rims and knobby tyres just like in the brochure but for now, my 7 year old is proud to ride a Cinelli just like his Dad."

Note: Cinelli frame (Columbus), stem, seatpost; Campagnolo BMX crank, hubs and pedals.
