Shop Talk #12: Gazzetta della Strada
Shop Talk is a regular feature in which we take you through the technical characteristics of our bikes much the same way a shop owner might, should you visit one of our authorized dealers, with a few extra details you can only get here in Milan!
This week on Shop Talk #12 we take a closer look at a classic Cinelli urban hybrid, much loved and continuously fine-tuned over the years to reflect changing commuter trends and riding styles: the Gazzetta della Strada.
The Gazzetta della Strada is Cinelli’s hybridized vision of the classic steel Randonée bike, fine-tuned – thanks to its flat bars, messenger rack and road-inspired geometry - for riders for whom fast and practical commuting is the ultimate priority without neglecting the versatile design details that make the bike weekend-adventure ready.
