Cinelli SC Restoration

James writes in with, "I wanted to share some photos of a recent restoration project – my first vintage bike project. The frame was a tired pre-loved 1972 SC with several coats of new paint but very sound. I embarked upon a period-correct restoration and the frame was completely stripped back and refinished with new chrome and period-correct paint and decals – the latter specially made by Cyclomondo based on research for a 1972 bike. At some point I perhaps unwisely got the idea to use only NOS parts and the next 18 months were spent sourcing the parts needed – quite a learning curve for someone unfamiliar with the variations that occurred in Campagnolo and other componentry in this era. I tried to ensure everything was accurate right down to the date on the hub lock nuts. The smell that comes out of original packaging when opening is addictive and the handmade parts of this era are like stunning pieces of jewellery. After the bike was assembled and these photos taken by Andy White at FYXO I thought my journey was finally over with a beautiful result. However since then several helpful vintage bike collectors have highlighted minor inaccuracies which have been progressively attended to in my quest for accuracy. Recent changes have included the seatpost clamp bolt (now version 2 instead of version 3), saddle (yellow text instead of silver), rear hub (no stamping on freewheel landing) and front derailleur (no-circlip) – there is one part I know to be still needing replacement which I am searching for and probably a few more than I have yet to learn about but there is plenty of time for that. I have learnt to accept that this Cinelli will remain very much an enjoyable work in progress which provides a focus for enjoyable dialogue with fellow passionate collectors and opportunity to exchange knowledge and stories. Of course being a Cinelli the opportunities for good stories are many. I hope you enjoy."

1953? Cinelli SC Restoration

Bob from England writes in with, "I thought you might like some ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos of my 1953 SC. The frame was retrieved from someone’s loft here in the UK where it had been since the early 70s when the owner stopped riding.

He bought the bike secondhand in the late 1950s and even though it has braze-ons for Simplex JUY 53 and JUY 51 mechs always rode it on a fixed wheel, the Simplex rear gear hanger had been sawn off. He hand painted the frame in the late 60s. I assume from the semi sloping fork crown and chrome bands on the seat tube (I found when removing the paint) that it may be a SC Lusso although it doesn’t have a seat pin clamp.

The frame is considerably lighter than my 1958 SC and mid 60s Mod B. I am collecting the Simplex equipment to build it and will send photos when it’s finished."

Back to the future, Cinelli introduces the new Nemo Tig frame: "Steel is back with this competition frame made with Columbus Spirit super oversize triple-butted tubes. The Tig welding technique enhances the possibility of making custom geometries and increases the frame stiffness. Steel, contemporary like never before. The Nemo sleeve with integrated seat clamp connects at the best the top & seat tubes to the rear stays for a better stress distribution and resistance of the frame. The 1.5” tapered head tube with the Columbus monocoque FEL fork increases the reactivity of the frame and the handling of the bike. The new steel dropouts connect at the best the rear stays matching all the angles of different sizes, offering an ideal weld surface of the stays avoiding any stress concentration."

Available colors: Purple Haze - Yellow Moon - Silver Bullet - Black Dog - Cherry Bomb

Mr. Andrea Pesenti (right) attended the last L'Eroica and brought along one of the special Laser bikes that he built in 1986. This version has front and rear suspension.


In the book Cinelli, The Art and Design of the Bicycle, there is a photo of the time trial version of this bike noting that equipped  with solid tires "it was just about rideable-though professionals who tried, including big Eos Poli, refused to use it in competition!"
