Cinelli Vigorelli

The Cinelli Vigorelli needs no introduction, it's the bike that best represents what the mainstream fixie culture is about. A legendary brand naming a bike after a legendary place with visuals and colourways that were hip and cool. Once that was set in stone, it is now of no surprise how big of a reputation this frame has, in 2024. But there is not a lot said about the history of this frame, so I will try to compile most of what I can find on them here.

I will treat the different geometries as different models as it compacts the data. I will of course try to source as much as I can of the information I'm gonna mention.

Original Vigorelli Geometry (2005-2012)

The original Vigorelli geometry followed a track-like geometry with fairly high Bottom Bracket, short chainstays, steep headtube angle and short rake.

"?" (2005-2006)

According to Cinelli, the Vigorelli was born in 2005. But the first mention of it I could find was from 2007. This is a placeholder model for now.

"Italian White" (2007)

The first edition of this frame is quite rare. It's a forgotten colourway that even Cinelli don't correctly point to in their memorial of the Vigorelli . I'll admit it's not so different from the one pictured but it definitely existed.

"Italian White" (2008-2009)

Cinelli Vigorelli "Italian White" (2008)

"Italian White (Remastered)" (2010-2012)

This colourway is toned down from the previous Italian White, the colours don't change but the big Cinelli branding is moved to the top tube and instead is a Cinelli logo.

Second Vigorelli Geometry (2013-2022)

This is a fairly small change in geometry, the telling sign of these models is the cone-shaped seattube.

Road Model

Technically this is the same geometry as the "Vigorelli Steel", but I think it's pertinent to put this road bike in a different catagory.
