Spot the differences // Spot the similarities

Fuji Pro Track vs. Specialized Langster Pro. Don't look too different from each other but maybe that's just the style of 2012.

De Rosa Milanino 2012

Sorry, what the...!?

Once I had recovered a bit, I checked out this and felt already much better.

Bianchi Super Pista 2012

The build looks gross. What's wrong with you, Bianchi USA people?!

Cinelli MASH 2012

I've no idea where the pic is originally from, sorry.

Cinelli Art Tapes 2012

I certainly can dig these. Photo from here.

Superb Sprint

"Here is a quick teaser of our first prototype. This one is called the Superb Sprint and is an aluminum frame with lugged steel fork. It is amazingly light weight, matching the Cinelli Mash, and that has a carbon fork!" ... aaand it looks almost like the Cannondale Track!

Cinelli Laser Pista 2012 Limited Edition

You've all seen this already from Eurobike but here we go. The word is that production starts this month but the number of frames will be very limited. Apparently "7000 Euros, 10 pcs worldwide"...

From here.

More photos here too.

Cinelli 2012 Product Line

... will apparently include among other things reproductions of the classic 1A quill stems, the Giro D’Italia and the awesome Criterium handlebars. Nice!

"Classic bars and 1A stem 


Cinelli have also brought back three of their classic cockpit designs. First up is the aluminium Giro D’Italia ’64 bar, which is made from 6061 alloy to meet the latest EN standards but still shaped exactly like the original. With a 75mm reach and 140mm drop, it’s the ideal companion to a classic road bike.


The 1965 Criterium bar is also back, with its deeper drop (145mm) and further forward curve (82mm). In its day, this was the sprinter's bar of choice. Cinelli have recreated the original ‘milky’ anodised finish of the originals too.


The classic 26mm diameter bars need a stem, so Cinelli have brought back the 1A. It's now made from 6066 T6 alloy to meet EN standards but has the same simple, elegant design. It's available with the same ‘Milky’ finish as the bars, in lengths from 90mm to 130mm."

The Caleido Ribbon bar tape below looks pretty nice too: "This is made from multi-density leather-like material, with rainbow coloured EVA padding underneath that shows through the tape's perforations, giving a kaleidoscope effect."
