Looks like a good choice, fulcrum makes good wheels. Are you sure you're getting that frame? You seem to change your mind when it comes to which road bike you want by the hour

[the crazyest vegan]

i know i do keep changine my mind depending on what the guy at the lbs show's me! but that's a pretty light frame and you dont see many cinelli's around here in cornwall so it would be pretty unique, if something better come's along i'll prob's get that tho but i doubt it will
a friend has those fulcrum wheel's and he say's they are the better than his mavic pair which were nearly double the price! when i can afford it i'm plannin on putting ceramic hub's in them as well

[JohnBarleycorn]

Very nice !

Terrible name for a frame though !

Man Machine ?

[the crazyest vegan]

uomo macchina is the italian, as the bike shop owner said to me, he's sure it's a cool name in italy but the name's dont often translate very well

[fredrikw]

he's sure it's a cool name in italy

ha ha, reminds of those people getting chinese symbols as tatoos believing they mean something completely different than they actually means.

sersiously man, you really should form your own opinion about things and not go with what people tell you they think is cool, or even worse what they believe people in another country thinks without probably not knowing anything about it

the name is probably perhaps an hommage to the cycling crazy guys in kraftwerk.

I don't think it's a terrible name at all, no matter what an english LBS think it sounds like in Italy

[the crazyest vegan]

haha fair enough
i'm looking for a carbon frame that's not very common, specialised, time's and giant's are all very common in my club but i have yet to see anyone on a cinelli! so even though it has a daft name i like the look of it and have plan's to purchase it in the new year, plus it's only 1100 gram's which is very light

[JohnBarleycorn]

I always preferred unusual or less common frames, but it has to be said that bike like Giants are common because they are really good. Its not all marketing hype. Sometimes, less popular frames are less popular because they are rubbish !

I am sure the Cinelli will be good !

I have just bought a Cyfac. Pretty amazing too. Reckoned by many to be the best frames in the world, but a well kept secret. They build for many of the pros, who then have them resprayed in their sponsers colours. Hinault, Fingon, Pantani and Millar always used them.

[fredrikw]

without the euro hype I think many Italian and French brands would have been out of business a long time ago...

[the crazyest vegan]

haha that is very true! but cinelli are known for been good frames, that man machine frame is been offered to me for £730 but if anyone can recomend a decent carbon frame for that price let me know, i think i looked at some cyfac frame's and they were out of my price range :'(

[Dave Noisy]

Pretty hawt!! Not a bad price for the wheels, i was looking at them (well, the 1's and 3's) but i couldn't justify the price..

I guess i should post a note about MY new bike too!

[the crazyest vegan]

couldnt justify the price? they are shmexy wheel's that look good, apparently they are awesome for climbing and sprinting as well

[JohnBarleycorn]

Have you checked out the Planet X carbon frame ? It looks great, and I am told its awesome. Plus its so cheap you think there must be something dodgy about it. I am told its better than frames costing twice the price.

And they have some crazy deals the moment, on complete bikes. Carbon frame and full Dura Ace for under £900 ! Selling them at cost, to pay a tax bill, I believe !
