Cicli Berlinetta

Cinelli Nautilus, 54cm

An uncommon curiosity from the Cinelli stable, the Nautilus features a unique paint finish known as 'Soft Touch', which is very difficult to describe. The paintwork doesn't feel hard, brittle and cold, more like warm, indeed almost impact absorbing. There are however some areas of paint damage (see photos), but these do not detract from the overall character of this frameset, which of course has many nice construction details, as we have come to expect from Cinelli.
