1968 Cinelli S.C. with Bivalent Hubs










My thanks to Stefan of www.speedbicycles.ch for giving me permission to use his photos. Stefan's collection of bicycles is beautifully photographed.

This Cinelli is serial number 4274, made with Columbus tubing finished in cromovelato Mars red. It is equipped with a set of Cinelli bivalent hubs. Cinelli introduced this hub system in 1961 in which the front and rear wheels where interchangeable, and the freewheel remains on the bike during a wheel change. Read about Cino Cinelli's logic in creating these hubs:

Seat tube c-c 59cm, top tube c-c 57cm, weight 10.2kg

I invite you to contribute by sending in photographs of your Cinelli bike, illustrations, personal stories, and articles about Cinelli bikes and components.

Thanks for stopping by.
