But this is more about wants than needs. And oh dear Saint Madonna del Ghisallo, this is a beautiful bike.Cinelli Supercorsa lugged road bike gives new life to an icon (Photos/Cinelli)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.Dont worry, Cinelli arent messing with the classic.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.Whats new?Instead, they are breathing fresh life into the classic. In fact, they are just giving classic cycling aficionados more personalized choices. 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. An Italian cycling icon, 75 years runningFirst introduced in 1951 by Cino Cinelli and framebuilder Luigi Valsassina for Luigis friend, the one and only Fausto Coppi, the Cinelli Supercorsa is the most iconic Italian racing frame of all time. Cinellis stated goal was to create the perfect functional harmony between the three main parts of the frame: the fork, the main triangle and the rear stays.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.The 2026 Cinelli Supercorsa lugged steel road bike frameset is still made by hand in Milan, Italy by Cinellis 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.Tech detailshandmade Italian lugged steel road bike frame & forkdouble-butted Columbus SL new Omnicrom steel frame tubing & curved sloping fork bladesoriginal pointed cast lugs & spoiler bottom bracket shell1 ISO threaded headset and fork70mm Italian threaded bottom bracket27.2mm seatpost with integrated binder clamp in the fastback seatstaysdowntube shifter bossesmax 700c x 25mm tire clearancerim brake only1830g claimed frame weight (55cm) and 670g fork (uncut)available in 17 stock sizes (48-64cm) or custom made-to-measurenow available in 8 vibrant classic single color paint jobs, all with chromed lugs & stays (not this limited edition pink from 2025)100% made in Milan, Italy 2026 Cinelli Supercorsa Pricing, options & availabilityThe updated Cinelli Supercorsa frameset now sells for 3150 in its 17 stock sizes.
