I wonder how it would be thought of if it'd just been released as the new Vigorelli with no Mash association.
The problem is not the colour scheme, or the association with a bunch of hipster fixie skidders, it's the stupid faux-pro geometry. If they had just released the standard geometry frame with that paint, the number of people who considered it an improvement would more or less match those who thought it had got worse, since the normal Vigorelli paint doesn't exactly stand out as one of Cinelli's finest moments.
