Columbus – Cinelli, Milan – Italy
A fantastic report from my friend Jakub Svoboda (owner of Kolokrám s.r.o company) from June 8, 2025, no words are needed because he himself described it as a true "heartbreaker" and bike lover!
"Benvenuti and Cinelli! Welcome to Cinelli!
With a slight distance, after a few days of work hustle and bustle and in full season, the time has come to stop for a moment and share with you a few shots from Milan and directly from Cinelli!
We had a unique opportunity to take a look at a place dedicated to cycling - the legendary Columbus factory, where frames and wheels that have written history have been created for decades. For every cyclist, it is without exaggeration a Mecca, one of the cradles of modern road cycling. It was here that bikes for world champions, for renowned European brands and among them, for example, the American Specialized were born.
But don't think that they live only from history! They are not idle here today either. With a new American investor, Cinelli is trying to restore the brand to its former glory. The main task is not to remain just an icon of the steel past, but to continue to create the future of cycling
We won't show you the news for the 2026 season yet - they are of course subject to an embargo. But we will be happy to share with you that piece of huge history, the atmosphere of the place and the charm of this old factory, which cannot be described in words. It simply has to be experienced and shared.
And if the weather is not very good right now, it's raining outside, this is the ideal opportunity to transport your thoughts to Italy for a while. We assume that you have already finished your Sunday lunch, so sit down comfortably, make yourself a good coffee or, for a good experience and well-being, open a bottle of red wine and enjoy this little excursion into the world of Cinelli bikes with us.
Cuba Libre"

Cicli Nicoletti, Verona - Italy
Fantastic story:
The "Cicli Nicoletti Ettore", the production factory and sale of bicycles, closed several years ago after more than a century of operation. It was active in Verona, especially in the historic Roman Quarter.
On the premises of the store, I have now organized a collection of old bicycles, historic enamel advertising signs, advertising posters, photographs and sports souvenirs and prestigious Campagnolo components.
In the old workshop, reconstructed to the condition as eighty years ago, I perform all maintenance and restoration work on bicycles and materials.
The exhibition and workshop, of which I present a few pictures, are open to anyone who would like to visit them. "
