The iconic Cinelli Supercorsa is the oldest bicycle model still in production in the world.

Athletes have won 28 Olympic and world track gold medals on Cinelli Laser models.

He was a professional racer from 1937 to 1944, winning Milan–San Remo in 1943, the Giro di Lombardia in 1938, and the Tour of the Apennines in 1937.

His brother Giotto was making steel stems and bars in Florence and Cinelli moved the business to Milan, centre of the Italian cycling industry.

The Cinelli (MILANO) head badge was originally cloisonne (fired glass on brass) and 55mm tall.

The presidency of the company passed to Antonio Colombo, owner of Columbus tubing, in 1978.
