new guy looking for suggestions

Hey guys.. So I'm new here as you can see by my post count. I'm looking into getting a Cinelli Vigorelli, but I hear they sometimes have problems with omniums, which is what I happen to have. Any info?

Omniums are hit and miss regarding frame clearance.

Look around PedalRoom to check your odds.

Yeah, its a pretty neat site.
Throw "Vigorelli" and "Omnium" in the search bar. If you come up with a lot of hits, you have a higher chance of being ok. But in reality, Omnium clearance is kind of a case by case issue.

Just by you being smart enough to put 2 and 2 together and not ask the question, I say welcome.

you have passed the test!

Ive seen a fair amount of vigorelli frames with omniums, I wouldn't be too concerned.

Sweet, thanks guys. I'll post some photos when I get the frame. Or better yet, I'll make a PedalRoom!
