Mash / Cinelli Vigorelli

I just sent off a jpg image to some signmaker online. £10 for 4 copys of the logo, tried a blue but the colour was way off.

Painting over the c was easy enough, just sanded it down and sprayed. It doesn't look that pro but I was going to get the whole thing resprayed at some point, never got round to it though.

Really want to import a 2013 frameset from the USA but needs to be 'comfortable' enough to do 200 miles a week.

from my point of view comfort has more to do with the right choice of seatpost, saddle and fork

.

I like the black, blends in better with your wheels and bars. I want to get a black saddle and black cranks for mine, followed by some new wheels I reckon.

Toying with the idea of a front spok but I dont know if I'm 'cool' enough.

I had a spok, immediately regretted the decision... Don't get a spok...

haha how come?
I only know one person who actualy has one and I always forget to ask him how he's getting on with it.

its just insanely heavy. i actually had a hard time keeping up with people when using it. doesnt make sense on such a light bike, my old hed3 was 200 times better

hmm that is a fair point.

I have no chance of affording one any time soon anyway.

Fair enough ghost - all that matters! Although I can't help but think a bigger frame may have been what the doctor ordered?

nah Im 5,9 and its a 54cm frame so it should be pretty spot on sizewise.

The seatpost is in all fairness probably a bit too high but ive been riding a frame that was too big for me for the last two years so I guess im just adjusting to it.

cheers, yeah on my current bike [trek T1] i've made it comfier with a better seatpost, saddle and pads under the bar tape but it's still a very rough ride for my elbows, needs a new fork or a new frame..

All I need to do now is find a decent American Cinelli store that will ship one over. Why'd they make the grey/pink colour scheme USA only!!

U no like black?

Fairy snuff, I stfu now :-)

Ive just measured myself up properly and the seatpost was way way way too high haha, cheers for the heads up.

Nah, plus I'm gonna get a 2013 black Saetta as my geared ride, can't have two black Cinellis in the fleet!!?!

I love the black/yellow

It's just a bit close to the roadie I want to build & the pink/grey would look great with some hand built grey H plus Son TB14s & maybe pink hubs. Not ruled it out though...

Hurrah, wiggle are listing 2013 frames now!

I'm 5'9 and looking at a 54cm frame but not very good at understanding the geometry figures. Compared with my current track bike is this fractionally more relaxed?

[code]Bikes: Cinelli vs T1
Head angle: 73 vs 74
Head tube length: 15 vs 14.1
TT actual: 53.7 vs 54
TT effective: 54.5 vs 53.6
BB drop: 5.8 vs 5
Chainstay: 39.2 vs 38.6
Wheelbase: 96.6 vs 95.1[/code]

You didn't show the seat angle.

the geo look normal, I'd hardly says that's relaxed, and fork offset is another contributing factor.

In fact, you will have lengthier effective tt, so will stretch out further with the same length stem
0,9cm further to be precise...

Where (in the US that is) can you find this model/color ?

I do 200+ miles a week on my Mash and it's fine.

Shit sorry, I was replying to what was quoted, not the post. My bad.

Vigorelli 54cm up for sale.

Thanks y'all for the advice, I'll try and get some more stats up, might have to consider a small frame if it's 1cm longer than my current bike, gonna wait for a LBS to stock some.

I've not looked yet, as far as I can tell from google it is a USA only paint scheme but can't find any USA stores listing 2013 stock yet...

Yeah I guess we're gonna have to wait.
Fortunately I have friends who live in the US. It will be pricier but, god do I love this paint job.
