For anyone in Italy, it looks like there's at least one shop taking pre-orders on the Vigorelli 'Electric Feel',

Set Telaio Cinelli Vigorelli 2017 Electric Feel | MilkyWayShop

They have some good high resolution detail shots, too. They look better than what's been posted here. Here's their full bike shot, the detailed JPEGs are much less compressed.

The giant 1.5" head tube looks like a beer can. I kinda hate it.

I dunno, I think it's growing on me. I think it might look okay with more normal wheels (e.g. Archetypes or something with black, not gumwalled tires) and solid black or white bartape.

(maybe even silver bars/stem/post/etc. instead of black? I'm not a fan of black parts.)

that giant ass headtube matches the fork. that's the one thing I kinda don't like about steel bikes with carbon forks...the 1 1/8" head tubes always look kinda funny with a thick legged carbon fork mounted to them.

Anyone have any insight on whether I should get a rear Paul Funky Monkey (or similar cable hanger) for my Work that will be running cantis. It does have the internal routing but being that I haven't installed and set up cantis on a brand new frame that I can think of and haven't really played with them in a while (beyond riding bikes with them) so I am unsure what I need. I got one for the front but am thinking I should probably get one for the rear to help things out a bit but maybe I am wrong?

Now that we've decided the steel Vigorelli is ugly, is anyone allowed to say when they'll be available in the U.S.?

It would look a lot better if it were tapered like on my Wraith.

I think that's his point. That on other bikes with 1 1/8 head tubes, the large fork looks outa place.

Your point aside, I think the gigantic 1.5" head tube and even bigger fork looks more out of place on a thin tubed steel frame than any 1 1/8' setup. That **** is just plain ugly.

MASH isn't keeping it hood for you unfortunately.

They cut ties with Cinelli in 2017.

Which means no more of these FOREVER after whatever is left is sold out.

As MASH moves into the new year of 2017, it is with great affection that we announce the end of our collaboration with Cinelli and the exciting start of our own independently produced designs.
Our respect for Cinelli began long before the first MASH video appeared in 2005, and it quickly evolved into a friendship. Over the years, we learned the culture and creative force of this historic bicycle brand in depth, especially as MASH began to design frames from our home in San Francisco with our new Cinelli family in Milan. This collaboration lasted for an incredible 7 years, and we are grateful to have had this solid foundation as we move on to our next adventure.
We are excited to continue to produce in the cycling community independently as MASH. This freedom will bring new flexibilities, and our goal is to make the best designs we can dream. MASH has always been about collaborating with our friends here in San Francisco, and it’s time that we continue to feed this ethos. These new pieces will be available later in the year. We’ll be sure to keep all of you updated as we have news to share.
Additionally, with this change, Cinelli will no longer produce any MASH collabration products, but shops will still be able to purchase remaining stock from the distributors through 2017.
So, with a full heart for our Cinelli family, we’re psyched to take this leap into 2017 with all of you!
