Cinelli: The Art and Design of the Bicycle

We buy 70-80% of our books based on the cover. Say whatever you want, but style matters. Of course, the adage is true since most of those books ended up being terrible, but we get sucked in by a pretty face. When you can find products that take both style and quality into account, you usually end up with a lasting brand. Cino Cinelli’s work is a testament to that, and Cinelli: The Art and Design of the Bicycle puts the legend’s 65+ years of work on display. Besides ushering in classic designs like the Supercorsa racing frame and the MASH fixed-gear, Cinelli is also known for his collaboration with respected artists like Keith Haring. The 288-page read features interviews with Antonio Colombo (the president of Cinelli) and well-known fashion designer, Paul Smith along with plenty of legendary riders. Plus, there are a lot of pictures!
