Mash / Cinelli Vigorelli

What are your thoughts?

Looking for a track / sunday bike. It costs twice as much as a golden bucket of diamonds but I want to build up something I love, not like.

Has anyone ridden one or heard any feedback about them? Is the alu frame going to withstand hard road riding?

nice bike

sexy time

Certainly wank-worthy, I like.

Just don't put an aerospoke on it Alex, or I will hunt you down......and kill you.

i've been riding ali on the streets for 4 years
no issues but then i do have a carbon fork up front for a bit of flex

i can't remember if that frame come with ali fork or frame only ?
i would have one tomorrow if i could afford it

I almost bought one, but decided against it upon building up the Graham Weigh.
Gonna be nice.
Will be drilled for brakes, carbon forks, nice TT geo.
Prob, very nice to ride.

It will be built to MASH's specs so expect hard wearing and street usability.
Personally though I'd go for the Condor Lavoro of a couple of years back, with the Red on Black theme.
nicest frameset ever.
still kicking meself for selling it.

Win

still win, but less so

I've always had a soft spot for the standard one.

If you buy it- you SHOULD get the special Campag set up that is going on it, pretty cool stuff I hear!

at BDW- definitely.

And I promise That this is my final edit.

I think it's carbon blade fork as standard.

I totally agree on the pixel block lavoro. It's between the those two and the standard vigorelli at the moment.

eyebrows - the lavoro is now fully tracked up and being taken around HH most weekends. You'll have to give it a spin in it's natural environment next time you're up in the smoke

with carbon up front that mash will ride beautifully
just need that lottery win and i can buy the....

Cinneli Olympic Pista in Cherry Red

A short list of wants but an expensive one

There's F+F only in the window of BLB. Haven't found anyone who sells the complete bike over here yet.

didn't cinelli give some blokes custom vigorellis , made for the road so they could ..ahem "ride" the tour of cali route?

Look, proper cycling clothing, proper handlebars and brakes.

hipsters your time is running out...

895pounds for the frame (@14k) is too much, therefore you can buy some better/nicer/... frames

I don't think it's drilled for brakes. But the rest is accurate. Was that hipster comment directed at me? Painful, if accurate.

It is drilled for brakes (front at least)
trust me:

Mash Vigorelli:
Here are some of the specifics:
Columbus Airplane (Supersection oversized shape) 7005-T6 aluminum frame construction with rear-facing, steel insert horizontal track dropouts @ 120mm spacing (no brake mount on frame)
1-1/8" Columbus Straight Carbon color matched, carbon/aluminum (blades/steerer) fork with 35mm rake and an integrated headset (41.8mm Campagnolo standard): UPDATE: we just got word the fork will now be drilled for a brake. Cinelli will include a Cinelli logo plug to cover the whole for those of you who want to go brakeless.
Includes: headset and seat clamp
Color: Grey (gloss light grey and dark grey with white graphics)
Weight (frame/fork): 3.3lb/1.23lb (1500g/560g) - size 54cm

also cheaper than standard vigorelli app.

I've just been fondling one at BLB, absolutely beautiful frame.
They've imported that one themselves and at the moment I think its the only one in the UK. Its also a lot cheaper than they will be when they are officially supplied to the uk.
14 will have them in soon, but for the price you could fly to the states and pick one up.

how much is it in BLB btw?

in blb now
i'm off to have a fondle

It's 780 f+f in BLB. If it's still there in two weeks when I get some cash then it's mine.

the guy at the back is brakeless

he'll be looking for a convenient hedge to crash into on the next descent then

If you know someone in the states. its only £580

just fucking get it Alex.... the most awesome of awesomely amazing frames.
i was gonna get one, but couldn't be arsed with the wait.
i am now going to blb to have a look.

I must says that despite the credit crunch, that's less than I thought (£850).
