Cino Cinelli and Family


This image from a 1939 publication comes courtesy of Dave Beck. The lower photo, taken in 1917, shows Cino Cinelli in the arms of his mother. Cino's older brother, Giotto Cinelli, is in the middle next to their grandmother. All the Cinelli siblings are named.

The article also mentions that Giotto Cinelli owned a plastics factory at the time.

Cinelli Laser Fanini










A very interesting 1983 Fanini "Record", serial number 20, made by Cinelli presumably. I asked the owner, Stefan of speedbicycles.ch, and he said "As far as I know it is Laser with a special Fanini finish." It does appear very similar to the Cinelli Laser pictured here that was on a display.

If anyone has more information about the Cinelli-Fanini tie-in please write in.

Thanks to Stefan for use of the photos more of which can be seen here.

Cinelli Speciale Corsa Leggerissimo, 2559






"From approximately 1976, serial number 2559, Brügelmann Cinelli Speciale Corsa Leggerissimo. The repainting in the 90s is a good quality-job; unfortunately, the painter let out the red part at the middle seat tube-section. The decals are reproductions and new from Australia. BB-Lug: G. Fischer (Switzerland)."
