1948, a good professional racer with 15 years pedalling experience in the legs and the geniality in mechanics, decided to make use of his brilliant intuitions developed during the many miles run on every type of road surface, it was Cino Cinelli. Some may remember him for his cycling career, but many of us remember him for his great gifts given to cycling: the modern handlebar, the first saddle with a plastic frame, the first foot clips, the first quick release pedals. Most of my early race bikes were fitted with Cinelli bars and if I was lucky – Cinelli pedals. The track bike for today is clearly a Cinelli speedster intended for fast-paced riding on the track. “Madison-on.”
