Msa, the vigorelli is like butter. If you are able to build one, I could not recommend it more. It's not got a crazy pursuit geo but one really does not need that unless one is at the track.

Cinelli Vigorelli 2017

Was thinking of purchasing this frame but now I'm thinking that almost 850 for a cromo frame seems a bit steep. What exactly is one paying for other than the name and the paint job?
