1951 Cinelli Advertisement

My sincere thanks to Gary, from England, who writes, "Researched Cinelli as a teenager racing in the early 70s. I was saving up for one but went for a Hetchins as there was a 3 months wait for a Cinelli my size.

I will will try to find the rest of the Cinelli stuff that has been stashed away for the last 30 years. This advertisement comes from the November 8, 1951 pullout supplement from the Earls Court cycle show."

As you can see three models were offered:

MODEL S.C. LUSSO, with Reynolds 531 tubing
MODEL B ROMA
MODEL C CORSA

There were five styles of handlebars available:
San Remo
GranFondo
Giro d'Italia
Pista
Koblet

The ad was placed by the sole importer and general distributor for the UK,
VECEL & CO ,LTD 17 MOXON STREET LONDON W1.

Prices at the time were in pound shillings and pence.

Cinelli Nuovo Super Corsa

Michael, from Australia, writes in with, "I had an early flirtation with Cinelli Proxima trophy and after a few rides, sold it (still don’t know why) but regretted it ever since.

However, after a few years, managed to latch onto the blue beauty that I now own, and will never part with.

It was NOS when I bought it and was sourced from Cicli Ferca in Lake Como. It is made from Columbus Ultra Foco and is XL in size. The frame weighs 1742g which is pretty good, and the filet brazed lines along with the lugged BB are just sweet.

The Serial No. is 01-173, so believe that it is from 2001, and was made by Losa. I believe that there are not many around which makes it even better.

It is a great bike for riding in the Adelaide Hills and gets those admiring looks from everywhere."
