（转帖）上海展的意大利顶级公路车cinelli与columbus管材
意大利堪称艺术品之都，奢侈品的发祥地，曾经诞生了三大顶级自行车零件品牌，CINELLI,ITM,3T.只可惜其中的ITM由于盲目地求量，而寿终正寝，业已倒闭， 而和CINELLI同样隶属于COLUMBUS管材公司下属的3T也已被出售了。只剩下CINELLI 凭借其对古典美学的不断发扬，对现代艺术的充分运用，越发得充满生机和活力，在整个公路顶级市场赢得更多爱好者和职业车手的青睐，分销商更是遍布全球！中国将成为它又一个崭新的大市场！如果您是钢管车架的死忠车迷的话,对COLUMBUS小鸽子一定不会感到陌生，因为这可是世界上最好的管材厂--Columbus公司的LOGO. Columbus公司历史: Columbus.1919年由Angelo Luigi Colombo创立.意大利钢管名厂..... 著名CINELLI手工制作的公路车架厂,都使用着小鸽子的管材.... 在欧洲公路车的悠久历史中...不知有多少金牌的背后... 都是Columbus管材所制成的车架....
Columbus钢材被视为历史上最著名的专利钢材,1987年随著MAX管材一起推出,为添加钒与铌的合金,除了强度大幅提升之外,添加的合金成份在素材中析出使得即使达到1000度高温之下,还能避免晶粒的成长,因此不会在强度上造成降低,其抗拉强度大幅提升到了极致！是一般钢材的强度和延展性的6倍以上！大凡意大利的顶级公路车架很多都是采用了COLUMBUS管材,包括COLNAGO顶级的车架也是采用了CINELLI公司的COLUMBUS管材!
如今columbus公司专注于cinelli这一大品牌的推广. 牌子好像intel…… 重庆整车毒品，毒( ⊙ o ⊙ )啊！ 够毒的 上海富杰公司的广告帖子 唉 不过titus确实挺漂亮的 就是想不通天天说titus是顶级车 好 好 好 就没见世界级的大型比赛中有多少人用 这是为什么呢 After graduation in 1972, I decided to take a bike tour through Europe. To finance the trip, I sold my old Volkswagen bus for $1,500. Three months into the tour, after riding from Amsterdam to Milan, I met a Swiss woman at a hostel and started talking to her about biking. She knew a few Italian cyclists and said she would help me land a meeting with key person at Cinelli, one of the biggest Italian bicycle manufacturers. Up to that point, I had been traveling in a pair of jeans and a sweater I hadn't washed in a couple of months, so I spent some of my remaining money on a suit so I wouldn't look like a bum.
Plug in that bike
Sitting with legendary component maker Cino Cinelli, I exaggerated a little and told him I was connected with all the top riders in the U.S. He seemed taken with my appreciation and enthusiasm for his products, and I used my remaining $1,200 to buy as many handlebars and stems as I could - exotic parts not readily available in the U.S. When I returned to San Jose I had no money left. I stored the products under my trailer so they wouldn't get wet.
In Italy the artisans who craft lugs, frames, and tubing are considered specialists. I named the company Specialized Bicycle Components after them because I wanted to have a connection to that European passion and quality, something that would distinguish my products from the mainstream bikes popular at the time.
I didn't have a car, so I came up with an efficient way to market the components: I outfitted my bike with the parts and rode to nearby stores. The first few dealers were skeptical; they had no idea who I was and didn't know if they could trust me to deliver additional inventory. But they bought the products and waited to see if I could deliver more.
I sold out the first shipment but didn't make money. My bank wouldn't give me a loan, so I tried another tactic: I went to the bike shops and told them that if they gave me a cash advance for additional parts, I'd sell to them at a lower price than if they insisted on buying from my inventory. For the shops that agreed, I used a markup price of about 15% more than what I paid wholesale. For stores that waited until they saw products, I'd tack on an additional 10%. That is how I financed the company for the next year and a half.
It wasn't always easy. I insisted that the stores pay COD, because I didn't have extra money. One time a $1,000 check from a store near San Francisco bounced. When I called the owner about it, he gave me some big story about how he'd eventually get around to paying it. I knew he was lying, and he refused to return the merchandise. I sent my roommate up there with a check to buy the shipment I had just sold to the store and then had him cancel my check. I called the owner and said, \"That great sale you made? Well, that was my roommate, and now my check has the same value as the one you gave me.\"
其实SPECIALIZED就是靠卖CINELLI发家的,呵呵!不信大家仔细
看看SPECIALIZED的CATLOG中文的目录更明白!
下面就是这个\"闪电\"诞生的经历(转载):
SPECIALIZED这个专业的单车品牌，并没有如同欧洲的单车制造历史来得悠久，他还很年轻只有36岁。他的老板MIKE在36年前凭着对自行车的喜爱之情，大学毕业后卖掉了自己的旧大众车，准备给自己来上一次环欧洲的单车旅行，在一次巧合中他认识了赫赫有名的欧洲自行车大碗CINO CINELLI，一番述说后MIKE用了最后的1500美元购买了所有可以购买的CINELLI零件，回到了美国，开创了一家小单车商店。这就是SPECIALIZED!
闪电的大老板麦克新亚的经历绝对值得我们很多大学生学习!大学生的创业一定要有方向!麦克新亚他从一个刚毕业的大学生,卖掉他的旧大众车,独自骑车去意大利.偶尔的机会认识了赫赫有名的自行车界大腕CINELLI,用仅剩的一万左右人民币买了CINELLI的东西带回美国开了个小店越做越大,最终成为赫赫有名SPECIALIZED!
