Cinelli was founded in 1947 by Cino Cinelli, an ex-professional rider whose palmars includes victory at the 1943 Milano - San Remo.
Though not himself an engineer, Cino was a stubborn perfectionist and within 20 years his company was globally-recognized as the golden standard of racing handlebars and stems as well as the inventor of the world's first plastic saddle, Unicanitor and the most sought-after Italian racing frames of the period, the mythical Supercorsa (still in production today).

While there may be hundreds of brands and thousands of models bicycle frames are not all created equally. Here at Basso we believe that the frame is an extension of the cyclist and as such it must be made to a higher standard. Extreme attention to detail and a holistic approach is necessary in order to have an extension of the cyclist that is not merely a compliment to the rider but an improvement to his or her own capabilities.
The thinking behind the Evo geometry on these two models is to bring the feel and confidence of the big-travel enduro bike into the realm of the aggressive short-travel trail bike. With a lighter frame construction and audacious angles these bikes are truly eye-opening. The geometry has a familiar effective top tube length which means your cockpit is a comfortable space when climbing.
Many things have changed since we first opened our doors, but our product developers, engineers, marketing nerds, salespeople, and athletes are still a tight-knit crew that works and plays in these mountains. From local trail days to backcountry adventures, we're all here for a reason: we love mountain biking.

This place sums up why people should still use their local bike shop. Today, they sorted out a non-shifting front derailleur which conked out mid ride. No fuss, no problem, no charge, and back on the road in 5 minutes. They've sorted out similar small problems before at short notice, and the work is always done well. Moreover, they're friendly, knowledgeable, and you get the sense they take pride in a job well done.

Just completed a most thorough bike fit with Doug. His significant knowledge of anatomy and his experience as a top class cyclist enabled a forensic search for improvements in the bike set up and my position on the bike. This led to an examination of the saddle, cleat position and handlebars. There was no sales pitch in this process. Just clear advice and guidance. Thanks Doug.

I recently bought a MTB frame set from Lovelo and subsequently had it built there. Having never bought a bike this way before and not having the time, tools or knowledge to do it myself I asked them to build it to the highest level they could within my budget, which they did a great job in doing. Communication was excellent, keeping me fully informed during the build and answering any questions I had.
Their level of knowledge was fantastic and feel I got the best build I could for my budget. I probably wasn’t the easiest of customers to deal with, but they remained polite and professional.

Brilliant service and serious know-how. Staff are excellent and very friendly. I was in need after a club ride calamity and the guys fixed my bike and got me back on the road really quickly. Fortunate to have such a great local bike shop, but worth the trip if you're travelling from afar too! Cheers guys 👍
