In the development and construction of the Cinelli Tipo Pista, the knowledge gained in recent years in the areas of fixie and track flowed. The result is a balanced geometry that is lively and agile thanks to low fork offset and steep angles, but also manages without problems such as a front wheel colliding with your foot. Thanks to the ample tire clearance of up to 25mm, nothing stands in the way of use on the road - in whatever form. Brakes are part of the standard equipment, as is the flip-flop hub on the rear wheel, thanks to which you can switch between fixed and freewheel in a flash.
The frame itself consists of an aluminum tube set from the cult manufacturer Columbus; together with the carbon fork, the frameset weighs approx. 2.200g in size M. The complete bike is equipped with Cinelli attachments and comes standard with a universal gear ratio of 48/17. Thanks to the 120mm long dropouts, the chain tension can be adjusted over a wide range when changing the sprocket in just a few simple steps.
The Cinelli Tipo Pista is going on sale these days at an attractive price of €899.

Hi,
I actually hesitating between the Cinelli tipo pista and the Dolan pre cursa?
For you what is the best choice?
My use will be commuting from home to my work and start to do some criticism as well.
Thank you for your answer,
Kevin

The dropouts are 120mm wide, but never 120mm long.
