Cinelli Supercorsa Pista

I've always had a soft spot for the Cinelli Supercorsa Pista. It was something about those tiny decals that did it.
Having just witnessed one go for proper money on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120156514155&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=002
I was pretty excited when I got this email from Cinelli today:

Thank you for your enquiry, I apologise for our late reply but we we closed for our summer holidays in August.
You will be pleased to hear that we have introduced the Supercorsa Pista frame in our 2008 line, we are updating our website with the new line, so you’ll be able to view it shortly. As from the beginning of next week you will be able to download the new catalogues from the Cinelli home page.
If you are interested in purchasing one, you can contact the Cinelli distributor in your country who will be able to give you further information on prices and timing.

That's beautiful... Make it happen man!

yeah have always liked the Cinelli too - be interesting to see what pricetag they put on it. perhaps i am going a little mad today but found myself looking at the one in the link and thinking £790 was a pretty good price

Niiiiiiice

Those are the nicer ones! The later, yellow ones were made of columbus thron tubing. Not exactly top of the range, I broke a frame made by Paul Milnes from thron tubing.

Oops! The yellow ones were 'olympic' not supercorsa.

Although, there's this...

The newest generation of the Cinelli Supercorsa Pista frameset: a classic omnium design constructed with oversize Columbus Zona double-butted Nivachrome steel tubing.

Lugged construction throughout. Fork: traditional 1" threaded steerer with classic flat track crown and round fork blades (the fork crown and its dropout faces are chrome). No provisions are made to fit brakes.

I crunched the down tube of my Cinelli whilst doing about 7 miles an hour up Amwell st, motorcyclist pulled out, thron tubing isn't all that. got it fixed up at Chaz Roberts, like for like, wish I'd gone for SLX. When I get her back I'm just going to promenade up and down my road, exenger stylee, only on Sundays.

Taken at Euro Bike 2007. Upcoming release.

Wow! I'm so glad they brought back the chrome.

I like wear (fsck I am drunk! I meant 'where'!) the seatstays meet at the top and the pin-strip thing down the seattube with cinelli in the middle. Get me one in red and I'll think about it..

i've always loved cinelli stuff i'm so glad they're bringing it back... looks like i'll have to stop all activity on ebay start eating beans on toast every meal start saving up for that

those bikes are hot stuff

Pages from the new Cinelli 2008 catalogue, pics and stats. Same as the Todd's photo. No idea on price yet.

columbus spirit tubing ! that isn't going to be cheap but damn I'd like one in red

Sitting dreaming, drooling, fantasizing, has anyone seen one of these in the flesh? Or for that matter has anyone seen a list price? Nothing seems to be coming up on a google search so it may well be special order only.

yeah they are special order,
from my bad memory i think like £1200 RRP

Aaargh the pain.
I want yellow SO bad.

Jeez 1200 that is like 4 jacksons or 2 mercian, but at the same time hmmmmmmmmm there is something almost sexual about how much I want it.

I like the green one, if someone can figure it out, I think I might start saving ;)
