Classic Italian frame & component maker Cinelli has rolled up the doors on its Garage project. Intended to highlight the range of deeply custom bikes that Cinelli owners build and ride, Cinelli Garage brings the bikes back to the Milan factory floor for a closer look.

Inspired by riders piecing together dream bikes in their garages, Cinelli wanted to highlight some of these custom bike builds. The Garage will grow into a gallery where you can find unique, truly personalized builds encompassing the full range of Cinelli’s current bike offerings. But while they start off with this aluminum fixed gear crit Vigarelli, they all won’t be modern race builds.

Cinelli promises to bring frames like the carbon road crit Strato Faster, the steel urban single speed crosser Tutto, the carbon stage racing Superstar, and even the modern classic lugged road Supercorsa & track version Supercorsa Pista into the mix.

Each complete bike build is said to focus on an overarching theme or the specific personality of the bike. Whether that means a 100% made-in-Italy classic, a superlight UCI-illegal stainless XCr road racer, or this custom Vigorelli Alu raced by Davide Viganò to a Crit World Champion title at the Red Hook Milan.

A new bike build will be added to the Cinelli Garage every two weeks, as the return to the Cinelli factory for their photoshoots.

Davide Viganò’s Team Cinelli Chrome Vigorelli Alu crit bike

Davide Viganò made the jump from World Tour road racing to hop on this custom Vigorelli to race Red Hook Milan, after two earlier season races on its steel sibling. His alloy bike got a custom sparkly red look through Cinelli’s custom program available through its dealers. But with the Cinelli Garage feature, a limited run of the same replica team Vigorelli paint job will also be available to consumers.

Tech spec details

His World Champs winning complete bike starts off with a stock 54cm alloy Columbus Airplane tubed frame gets paired with a carbon Columbus Pista fork with a tapered alloy steerer. Cinelli rounds out the cockpit with the alloy Dinamo bar & stem, of course wrapped in Cinelli cork tape, and a 3D forged Dinamo seatpost.

The bike gets built up with a Vision Track crank, Miche drivetrain, and it topped with a San Marco Concor saddle in a Team Cinelli Chrome edition. It rounds everything off with a set of carbon HED Stinger 6 wheels in team colors and Michelin Pro 4 tubulars.

Yup. I think that candy red sparkle paint would work and look a lot better if a person could actually see more of it. The Hed decals mega-clash.

There should be a school for bicycle finish design, and in that school’s decal class, students will be shocked with car battery if they apply too many decals (as decided by Richard Sachs). Yup. I think aversion therapy would be the perfect solution to the exponential growth in decals on bicycle frames and parts.

I would generally think of custom as something a bit more than personal parts selection and a paint job

Absolutely. For me, the phrase “custom bike” implies a frame that is built with a geometry based on the customer’s corpus or his request.
