Cinelli Olympic Track

This is circa 1999-2003 so says the guy at Bike Central-where I purchased it from, the last of their 10 or so that they started out with-here in Portland, Oregon. A limited number were made in collusion with EuroAsia for distribution here in the states. One interesting aspect of the frame was Cinelli's first attempt at a bigger top tube. Like they've said in other reviews this baby likes to go fast. My only complaint is the paint is pretty sensitive to knicks and bangs and so really stands out against the 'Ferrari Red' paint job, but other than that, it's pretty awesome. Limited edition love.

Thanks, man! She's a pleasure to ride, too. Columbus steel feels great. Solid. Happy riding out there!

This maybe Cinelli's foray into OS steel tubing, but MASH frames are based entirely on other aluminum track frames, not steel. These had nothing to do with them.

I have one in yellow. Same paint issues, but lovely ride. I miss the iconic Cinelli seat stay binder, but still love the bike.

Sweet. Yeah, I had a Soma Rush before, so this feels pretty good in comparison.
