The Laser Project

An unprecedented exploration of the legendary Cinelli Laser, one of the most iconic, innovative, and sought-after racing bicycles ever created. Born from the visionary leadership of Antonio Colombo and the exceptional craftsmanship of Andrea Pesenti, the Cinelli Laser revolutionized bicycle design, pushing the boundaries of engineering, aerodynamics, and aesthetics. With its distinctive monolithic appearance, precision TIG welding, and unconventional geometries, the Laser challenged traditional framebuilding and established itself as a masterpiece of Italian design. Far from being a conventional production bicycle, each Laser was individually handcrafted for specific racing applications, from road racing and time trials to track pursuit. Throughout its evolution, the project became a laboratory of technical experimentation, combining innovative materials, advanced construction techniques, and radical aerodynamic solutions. The Laser Project retraces the fascinating history of the Cinelli Laser, documenting its origins, technical evolution, and the people behind its creation. Through hundreds of photographs, detailed close-ups, extensive historical research, and a comprehensive chronology of the different models, it presents an exceptional selection of authentic examples from the approximately 300 Lasers ever produced. Preface by Antonio Colombo.
