Laser


Mr. Andrea Pesenti (right) attended the last L'Eroica and brought along one of the special Laser bikes that he built in 1986. This version has front and rear suspension.


In the book Cinelli, The Art and Design of the Bicycle, there is a photo of the time trial version of this bike noting that equipped  with solid tires "it was just about rideable-though professionals who tried, including big Eos Poli, refused to use it in competition!"

D.M. Defaticatore Machine

This machine appears in the book "Cinelli: The Art and Design of the Bicycle" with Hans-Henrik Orsted training on it.

There is one currently on ebay, first one I have ever seen outside the photo in the Cinelli book, with this description: 

"1985 CINELLI D.M. Defaticatore Machine - NOS NIB Ultra Very rare! Machine developed by CINELLI from a Patent by prof. Antonio dal Monte (who was in the team that helped Francesco Moser to achieve Hour Record in 1984). It was used by pistard before and after the race in order to warm-up or cool-down muscles. Never been used Complete in every single part, in original box."
