Mash / Cinelli Vigorelli

Who is the art director for Cinelli 'track' frames I wonder. They seem to really struggle with what is a pretty straight forward job. Maybe start off with a plain, decent solid colour and see how that goes first before branching out to patterns and graphics?

You mean not like a Cinelli?

Most Cinelli's look pretty good in the flesh, the majority of builds we see on this site, of Vigorell'is and Mash's posted on here are a dogs dinner of hipster partts.

King Cutter built a nice Vigorelli, and if you look at a lot of the ones built up for proper track use they look ok.

However that USA one does look the bizniss

You mean not like a Cinelli?

No, I mean not like a contemporary Cinelli.

New 2011 Mash - new geo too

Wow... new frame, same shite.
Good job.

Quite like the paintjob, least better than the original that is.

I'd have a mash. Then have it painted and replace the branding after.

Why is the geo illegal? Seen lots of people saying it but not saying why.

needs moar spacers

Cos paying that much to then get a different paint job is money well wasted as far as I'm concerned...

Not if you know the right people. Get some friends, do some favours and favours get returned.

Also I'd buy it second hand when they're no longer a hip thing to have.

Said it a million times, one word:

NITROMORS

@Pisti
Are your forks original? Im about to strip my Mash but the carbon forks are an issue. Im debating whether I can realistically strip them with wet 'n' dry or just to get a similar (suggestions?) replacement.

Wooooh, woooooooooah! Let's get one thing straight - I DO NOT OWN A CINELLI MASH!

Denial

i bet you want too though

I think the lady doth protest too much!

No i meant on your completely non-hipster associated Bianchi.

The forks were black....carbon with a clearcoat. Had a small Bianchi decal down the side of each so just got a very fine(about 1,200grit) wet n dry on it and buffed it off so still left the forks clearcoated everywhere else but left a slight hew where I'd rubbed off
Put a bit of WD40 over it though and it looks bang on - then I put some black stickers over it to cover it up a bit
