Let’s just take a quick break from the latest carbon road, gravel, and mountain super bikes to admire the classic lugged steel Cinelli Supercorsa, which gets a subtle update after having been first introduced 75 years ago. Do you or I really need a brand new, handmade-in-Italy, retro steel road bike – likely the single bike model that has been in production the longest? <\/p>\n

Of course, not. But this is more about wants than needs. <\/p>\n

And oh dear Saint Madonna del Ghisallo<\/a>, this is a beautiful bike.<\/p>\n

Described by Cinelli as the “ultimate classic Italian road bike, in uninterrupted production since the early 1950s”, this year marks a bit of a refresh for the iconic lugged steel Supercorsa.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry, Cinelli aren’t messing with the classic.<\/p>\n

\n

“The Supercorsa remains 100% Made in Italy, designed according to the original specifications perfected in the 60s with its instantly recognizable sloping fork design and fast-back seat stays.<\/em>“<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What’s new?<\/h3>\n

Instead, they are breathing fresh life into the classic. In fact, they are just giving classic cycling aficionados more personalized choices. <\/p>\n

The new Supercorsa is now available in a wide range of 8 classic solid colors, with the new from 1979 winged-C logo. It also now comes in more stock sizes than ever, a much wider 17 stock size range from 48-64cm. Plus, you can get one in custom sizing now, too. <\/p>\n

An Italian cycling icon, 75 years running…<\/h3>\n

First introduced in 1951 by Cino Cinelli and framebuilder Luigi Valsassina for Luigi\u2019s friend, the one and only Fausto Coppi, the Cinelli Supercorsa is the most iconic Italian racing frame of all time. Cinelli\u2019s stated goal was to create \u201cthe perfect functional harmony between the three main parts of the frame: the fork, the main triangle and the rear stays\u201d.<\/p>\n

This harmony was to be achieved through the development of stiffness, elasticity, aerodynamics and aesthetics, with each component of the frame completely redesigned according to the radical criteria of Cino, the stubborn perfectionist.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The 2026 Cinelli Supercorsa lugged steel road bike frameset is still made by hand in Milan, Italy by Cinelli\u2019s master framebuilders, using custom double-butted Columbus SL (the precursor to modern Spirit) tubing made in-house in Milan, as well. Cinelli CEO Victor Luis describes the classic steel Supercorsa as the “soul” of the bike brand and its craft, “This latest iteration stays true to its legacy and continues to pay homage to Italian steel tradition as an object of desire for riders and collectors alike.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n
