Mash / Cinelli Vigorelli

Agreed - I just can't find it in myself to like the NDS crank arm. Those bloody pinch bolts...

Non-issue surely? Who takes tumblr pics of NDS?

I concede the argument. Rookie error

First Cinelli I have been mildly interested in getting.

Also 700+ euros from a thron frame, meh

1. It's not the same Thron we used to know
   
2. I would't expect Spirit/XCr for 700 euros
   
3. Thron is fine, really
   

Cherry picking on type of steel >>>>>>>>>

Plus it is a track bike.

A Cinelli-Chrome rider told me that they never had a bike that handle so well in crits.
So maybe is more road friendly than track, and that's a plus!

You do reckon they said that because they're sponsor by Cinell?

Sure the judgment might be influenced by this fact, but I know him and trust what he says as he's always been impartial on gear reviews, endorsed or not ;)

surely not? Brand ambassadors are known for their thorough and honest product reviews!

Are you taking any royalties for their prominent usage of red->yellow fadez?

But 700+ euros from a thron frames...

I wonder how stiff the rear end/bb area is. Thron is like entry level 4130?

More or less, bit like Reynolds 525 I reckon.

More like a heavier and stiffer version of 531

erm, #B0N0Rfades mate, #B0N0Rfades

@bonor is fully responsible for the fade. The colour choice however was all mine, so they probably owe us both a few quid. (forgetting that my bike is basically copying an old cannondale)

@Eamesy I must say I feel kinda guilty about that gert dent. However, I sincerely love this bike. Best thing I've ridden (innuendo intended), hands down.
Also, I got a right battering from that incident too...

Still raced it dented, was huge fun:

Cromor should be the entry level no?
Thron is not on the tubing list last year.
Some of the frame listing state triple butted, so maybe not so basic.

Got my package today. Love it!

One thinG I realised I like about the Cinelli Caynotype is that they match the LFGSS jersey so well.

Cinelli now have the new Vigorelli in their website;

More photos, and for once, they published the stack and reach geometry.

but can you think of an instance where bike to kit matchy matchy looks good?
