XCR 75th Anniversary | Frameset | Cinelli

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Cinelli and honor the spirit of its founder, they have developed a bicycle that embodies their vision of what Cino Cinelli would ride if he were still here today. This bike blends technologies, materials, colors, and styles to pay homage to Cino's diverse and remarkable personality while expressing the brand's philosophy. The Cinelli XCR75th is the ultimate all-road performance bicycle in the world, inspired by Cino Cinelli's remarkable cycling achievements in the early 1940s and his unconventional approach to performance and technology.

It combines the avant-garde luxury of Columbus XCR stainless steel with a new all-road geometry, heavily influenced by Cino's Super Corsa designs from the 1950s. The bike also features the cutting-edge Classified internal hub system, which includes an exclusive splash anodization finish developed specifically for Cinelli. Additionally, it comes with a custom edition of the renowned Ron's Bikes Fabs Abs handlebar bag, making it the most stylish bag of its kind. The graphics of the XCR75th pay tribute to 75 years of the brand's visual history. By incorporating a mix of iconic, forgotten, cult, and previously unused logos and graphics, the design evokes the aesthetic of antique walking sticks adorned with commemorative Alpine souvenir badges. These premium Italian decals are applied to a hand-polished XCR stainless steel frame without any additional paint or clear coat. The bike is complemented by a customized Cinelli Neos cockpit and seatpost, as well as components from partner brands. The XCR75th frame is constructed using Columbus XCR stainless steel tubes, representing a major innovation in steel bicycle tube manufacturing over the past 25 years. This material allows for the creation of exceptionally lightweight steel frames with superior mechanical characteristics and corrosion resistance. As a result, the XCR75th is not only a high-performance bike but also a future family heirloom, providing a wonderful and responsive ride for generations to come. The geometry of the XCR75th is truly unique, combining elements from mid-1950s Supercorsa designs, such as the seat tube angle and chainstay length, with the more comfortable and upright riding position of contemporary endurance bikes. The bike features custom anodized hubs by Classified, a revolutionary drive chain system that eliminates the front derailleur. This partnership with Classified showcases Cinelli's commitment to embracing transformative technologies. The hubs have been specially anodized for Cinelli, adding a unique touch to the overall design. Cinelli selected the Ingrid CRS Pop crankset for its exquisite craftsmanship and performance. Ingrid is renowned for producing the most beautiful CNC cranksets in Italy, if not the world, and the CRS Pop model perfectly blends artistry and functionality. The Ron's Bikes Fabs Abs handlebar bag, created by alternative cycling expert Ronnie Romance at Nutmeg Needleworks in Connecticut, adds another level of style and functionality to the XCR75th. The bag combines contemporary fabric technologies with durable manufacturing and intelligent detailing, making it a sought-after accessory. The Brooks C-13 Cambium Custom saddle is a perfect fit for the XCR75th, offering a balance of elegance and performance. Cinelli requested Brooks to combine their organic cotton fabric with a natural, uncolored rubber shell to create a saddle that exudes neo-vintage performance. Brooks accepted the request, highlighting their appreciation for this collaboration. René Herse is renowned for producing some of the finest all-road and gravel tires worldwide. Their commitment to challenging conventions and offering products that redefine the cycling experience aligns with Cinelli's values.

Rene Herse makes some of the best all road and “gravel” tires in the world. Its excellence lies in its ability to continuously challenge norms, navigate clear-eyed through trends, gossip and rhetoric (just like Cino Cinelli!) to continue to offer products that change the way your bike feels.

The original Cinelli enamelled badge, first used on Cino Cinelli’s stems in the 40s and 50s and later his Supercorsa bikes, has been faithfully reproduced here in Italy according to original specifications.
