The new Cipollini MCM (MCipollini Custom Made) road bike brings the former (but still flamboyant) pro’s eponymous bike brand into the custom world. For $4,300, you’ll get a made in Italy custom geometry frame with its own fork, seatpost and headset. It uses tube to tube construction and has a claimed 1,200g average frame weight, fork is 370g. Lead time is normally 60-80 days. Only the logo will be painted on the downtube, not the color block shown here, and you’ll have logo color options of white, orange, yellow, green, anthracite and naked. Other color options will come soon.
You do a fitting and give them the frame measurements, then they get to work.
The seatpost adjustment binder is that dual-bolt nub sitting on the seat tube, above the water bottle bolts.
The frame uses internal routing and is mech/elec ready.
The NK1K, which is full monocoque, gets this new shiny black/anthracite color option. This aero road bike model was introduced in 2015 and gained a disc brake version at the end of that year.
You can also get this “urban camo” style paint scheme. The build on this bike exemplifies why they have intentionally limited the number of U.S. retailers to under 10. They want shops that are going to take the time to help the customer built it with premium parts that go together, hence the high end Campy build with color matched accessories like the gold chain and wheel decals.
