Thoughts on Cinelli Super Corsa??
"Eurastus" wrote in message ... Many moons ago (like 24 years--back in 1979) when I first started serious road riding as a freshman in high school, one of the guys I rode with quite regularly had a beautiful Cinelli with a brand new Campy Nuovo Record group--he even had a Cinelli saddle. What a bike. I was on a pitiful Schwinn Traveler III and dreamed of the day I could afford such a machine. Well, now I can. I've been looking about for a steel framed replacement for my 15-year-old 7-speed steed and happened into this site: http://www.gvhbikes.com/. They've got a beautiful Cinelli Super Corsa in a color I like and just the right size. I intend to equip it with a full Campy Record 10 triple group. I want to stay with steel. So here's my questions: What is the reputation of Cinelli steel frames? Back in the day, they were considered the very best, but is this still the case? The guy that runs GVH Bikes appears to have had some health problems and his shop is closed indefinitely. Is there another source for the Cinelli Super Corsa I could turn to should I decide to purchase? Anything else you can tell me about the Cinelli Super Corsa? Thanks much... My understanding was that Cinelli was acquired by the Columbus tubing company (love to hear otherwise). I've only seen one Super Corsa less than a couple years old, and I'm saddened to say it didn't really match the finish of the early models. Nowhere near as nice as the work on my Mondonico, which would be my choice for a "traditional Italian lugged frame" that's still fairly modern in its tubing choices and weight. Then again, I still ride my 19 year-old Torelli and Paramount frames too... TC |
