1990: Cinelli had some bike
made up but I am not sure if they entered the US market with them.
We have a nice example of a "The Absolute Machine" but it came from a
wholesale distributor that may have been considering importing the
bikes. 1992: Cinelli
had Gary Fisher design a series of mountain bikes to be sold under the
Cinelli name. These often used Fisher-labeled parts such as head
sets (1.25" Fisher Evolution) and grips with Cinelli-labeled parts such
as bars and seats. The bikes featured Italian names such as
Ottomilla and Argento Vivo and often featured wild graphics.
1993: The 1992 experiment
with Fisher didn't fare very well in the marketplace so the 1992 models
were carried over into 1993 which marked the end of the collaberation.
