Cinelli Time Trial “Oria Tube”" is a mysterious Cinelli with virtually no documentation.
\nIt came to me via Spain from an Italian who speaks English with an Italian accent.
\nAnyway, that’s not really the point.
\nWhat’s frustrating is that these two bikes have almost identical specs,
\nyet the COLNAGO MASTER CHRONO" is significantly heavier\u2014though I haven’t actually weighed them.
\nThe only difference is the front wheel: either “GHIBLI” or “SCIROCCO”.
\nTo be precise, the crank and pedals differ too, but…
 
\n
 
All the brake cables are routed internally; the rear one I threaded by pulling it through.
 
\n
 
I’m still breaking it in, and the front “GHIBLI” wheel is incredibly responsive\u2014
\nfar more so than the “SCIROCCO”\u2014getting buffeted by wind and it’s scary, so
\nI temporarily switched to the " SHAMAL for longer rides.
\nThis is light and comfortable\u2014no wind buffeting\u2014but it lacks visual punch.
 
\n
 
Still running the classic “one chainring up front, nine sprockets in back.” Both the Cinelli and Colnago are basically single-speed up front, so some kid somewhere will…at traffic lights and such…
 
\n
 
say “Mom, there’s a weird one over there!”
\n“Hey, there’s nothing inside the tire!”
\nThat’s what they tell me.
\nIt’s not a tire! It’s a wheel\u2014not that it matters.
\nWhen these kids grow up,
\nI hope they remember: “There used to be this old guy in the neighborhood who rode a weird bike.”
\nThat’s why I ride
\n“that weird bike” every single day.
\nSleep tight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
