Cinelli Laser 2012 London Olympics Concept




My thanks to Yann Lewandowski for writing in about his 3D project in which he conceptualizes a re-issue of the Cinelli Laser for the 2012 London Olympics. The concept is based upon, "A carbon made frameset inspired by the geometry of the classic one but update to track racing of our days".

Stunning.

You can find more photos and a description of the project here.

Which reminds me that I need to follow-up on the status of Cinelli's plans to re-issue the Laser.
