Cinelli Vigorelli Steel Track XS (47) Complete Build

Cinelli Vigorelli Steel Track – Size XS (see pic of specs) – 2020 The Vigorelli celebrates the return of steel frames in competition riding. Constructed with Columbus Thron tubing and matched with a Columbus Futura carbon fork, the Vigorelli Steel is the first production bike in the world designed specifically for fixed gear criteriums. It is characterized by its extraordinary handling abilities in technical racing conditions. At the heart of the Vigorelli Steel is precise race handling, are two distinguishing innovations: A re-tuned fixed-gear, crit specific, track geometry. The new geometry features a higher bottom bracket and increased fork rake, further reducing toe overlap and providing a more stable ride quality, a response to ever higher race speeds at events such as the Red Hook Criterium. The use of Columbus Chromoly steel tubing for the frames construction. Steel is the soul of the new Vigorelli’s performance. The naturally superior elasticity of Columbus’ cold-drawn steel allows for the frame to better absorb vibrations and other disturbances from the road’s surface, particularly in moments when the frame is subject to the greatest deformation and stress (in the three stages of cornering). Practically speaking, competitive riders will immediately draw confidence from the absence of the notorious “oversteering” usually associated with technical cornering of a true track bike and the way in which, in deceleration leading into a corner, the rear wheel skips and skids less, “hugging” the surface of the road and improving rider control. Included with bike: H Plus Son SL42 white rims 32 hole, 3x rear, radial front Tires are brand new Vittoria Randonneur 700c x 32mm (largest that fit with enough clearance, durable tires for fixed gear riding) Hubs are Cinelli branded Halo Rear hub is fixed (one side only) Cog is Surly 17 tooth (enough room on chain and dropouts to switch to 16 tooth if desired) Lockring is Shimano Dura-Ace Chainring is FSA 47 tooth Chain is HKK Vertex NJS blue (black) Sram Omnium 165mm crankset and bottom bracket Thermalite blue pedals Zulu pedal straps (keep shape nicely) Zulu top bar pad included (not pictured, matches pedal straps) Stem is Nitto NJ-89 NJS 110mm x 25.4mm clamp, 17º drop/rise 2 sets of drop handlebars: ---Soma Walker Racer, Tange chrome-plated steel, 44mm width, 25.4mm clamp (deeper track-style bar) ---Soma Lauterwasser, Cro-Mo 48mm width, 25.4mm clamp (shallower, longer reach, good for streets especially with stem flipped for rise instead of drop) 25.4mm to 31.8mm handlebar clamp shim included (in case you want to use a 31.8mm stem) and 25.4mm to 26mm shim.

Could probably fit someone as tall as 5'7" with 120/130mm stem, or someone as short as 4'10" with zero offset seatpost and short stem. Different handlebars would of course change the fit, too. This bike is barely used. Frame, fork, and all components are as new or close to it. Frame/fork/headset purchased directly from Cinelli in 2020. Components and parts from Retrogression and elsewhere. This frame is now unavailable and hard to find, as are several of the components included. Collectible and rare.
