No, its actually a feature designed by Cinelli I believe, and at one time unique to Cinelli frames.

It was not designed by Cinelli. The fastback seat stay can be seen on Italian bikes in the 20s and 30s. Umberto Dei used it in the 30s.

Is this what Gary Fountain meant by "fastback seat stays" and was it a Cinelli creation as debakl stated?

FWIW, I have read on the internet that Cinelli started using the fast back stay in 1948. He believed the design created a stiffer frame. As an ex-racer, he probably wanted to promote the function more than the style of the treatment. The Italians generally had a very reserved style compared to the English and French builders. It wasn't until the 60s when they started getting "flashy" with pantographing but their lug work stayed relatively "plain".

Thanks. Apparently Cinelli had some agreement with Brügelmann in Germany to produce the Leggerissimo model, all of them yellow and red. I think it was a special order bike. There's some debate about the tubing. I've read that they were made from lighter weight Columbus tubing, but I don't know if that claim has ever been substantiated.

Here is an interesting link to the Cinelli/Brügelmann colaboration:

Thanks.
