Bikes: '80 Masi Gran Criterium, '12 Trek Madone, early '60s Frejus track

The Cinelli brand was acquired by a US corporation in the 1990s, when they began marketing a succession of decent but unremarkable Asian-built bikes alongside the classic lugged steel Supercorsa. Over the last couple of year they seem to have upped their game, but they're basically following the example of Haro's handling of the Masi brand.

While this bike could indeed be a Cinelli, it is not particularly special, and the powercoating is tacky and unnecessarily thick.
