List of products by manufacturer Cinelli

Cinelli is an Italian bicycle manufacturing company based in Milan, Italy, mainly producing bicycles and bicycle components.
Cinelli is an Italian brand founded in 1948 by Cino Cinelli, a former professional road racer and president of the Italian Cyclists Association. He was a professional player from 1937 to 1944, winning Milan-San Remo in 1943, the Giro di Lombardia in 1938 and the Tour of the Apeninines in 1937. His brother Giotto was making steel stems and bars in Florence, and Cinelli moved the company to Milan, the center of the Italian bicycle industry. He made stems, rods, and frames, but relied on wholesaling to other companies. When he retired, Cinelli's own goods accounted for half the business. Stalks and wafers accounted for 80 percent of Cinelli's own sales. The annual production of alloy studs and rods increased from 5,000 in the 1950s to 7,500 in the early 1960s. By 1978, that number was 150,000. In 1974, he designed the aerodynamic bike on which Ole Ritter broke his own hour record. The basic product was the Speciale Corsa road model, produced in 1947. The Speciale Corsa also became known as the "Super Corsa" after the supplier shipped stickers that mistakenly said "Super Corsa" instead of "Speciale Corsa". Cinelli recently joined forces with San Francisco-based MashSF to create the popular "Cinelli MASH" framework, which is widely used in the running culture.
