S.C. Leggerissimo

Chris writes in, "My Cinelli S.C. Leggerissimo from Brügelmann is nearing completion, I'm really looking forward to riding it. I've attached a jpeg for you to see, I shot it just after I got it back from Brian Baylis. The paint is excellent!"

S.C. Leggerissimo in 1976 Brugelmann Catalog

I hope these are better scans of a 1976 Brugelmann (Frankfurt, Germany) catalog. It shows the traditional Super Corsa (S.C.) and the made special for Brugelmann S.C. Leggerissimo listed.

S.C. Leggerissimo description: "Special edition (manufacture) in extra light construction - in the accustomed Cinelli care - bottom bracket open below - detailed Cinelli lugs- Columbus tubing - Campagnolo dropouts. Color: This model is only available in yellow with red."



The catalog price, for frame and fork, is 590 DM for the SC and 665 DM for the SC Leggerrisimo.

Cinelli Super Corsa 1977

Andy writes in about his 1977 SC, "Here are two photos of my ’77 SC. It was bought new by my uncle in ’77, ridden daily, and refinished in the late 80’s. I updated the drive train and brakes to Campy 8-speed Record when he gave me the frame about 2 years ago. It’s a 63.5 cm seat tube, and 59cm top tube. The ride is smooth compared to modern aluminum frames! It’s a great weekend bike for me. Thanks again for the great site!"

Corsa da Bambino

I wasn't aware that Cinelli sold some bikes for children until Vicenzo in Italy sent me this photo:

Subsequently, I have learned that both bambino and bambina Cinelli bikes are listed in the Ron Kitching catalog circa 1960s.
