Well, that was characteristically understated of him.

[donevwil]

Someone's been to the gym. Keep this video away from my wife.

[biker72]

Nicely done video.

[ik2280]

Man, I don't know if I understand some aspects of the plot of this video, but I love it. Also, as far as aero bikes go, that's not a bad looking bike.

[Shortsocks]

I watched this video and was sensing for a second..."Wait where are the Hot Women, Has Mario lost it?!" and wait...wait there are the hot women. Mario, the poster-child of Italian machismo. :)

This has to be the ONE MAJOR clip that Manifests what Mario Cippo is ALL about. CRAZY. During the Tour of Georgia. :banana:

Over the top and garish is classic Cipo style.

[FlashUNC]

His first Bond video is the one I prefer.

I miss this guy in the pro ranks. Course, you only need to look at him now to realize just how doped he was/is. He's gotta be drinking HGH for breakfast.

[ultraman6970]

They should consider cipo to play some superhero, like aquaman and move momoa to play namor.

Absolutely. That bike looks sweet, too.

[tiretrax]

I think it's his hair gel.

He's a character - I saw a video of him working out with his sponsored team - a woman's team of course. It was two levels below soft core porn.

That bike is nice looking, and I like the way things are incorporated into the frame - even though the brakes look difficult to adjust without removing the wheel.

[false_Aest]

Am I the only one who thinks this video is horrible?

[Nags&Ducs]

I want for my future time trial/tri bike! And I'm not a triathlete or a time trialist! :)

That bike looks badazz!!!!

[thirdgenbird]

Am I the only one who thinks this video is horrible?

Cipo factor.

Just like his clothes and antics, they would make others look foolish. Mario can be outlandish and over the top but it works.

The best part is that it sounds like the real mario is a friendly and likable guy.

Lol u hit the the nail square on the head with that vid!

[FlashUNC]

Cipo was, and always will be, the man.

A Cipollini bike is not complete without his signature Pamela Anderson stem

Nope

roids are a helluva drug....

Nah, it really doesn't

[zmudshark]

Nope


Oh geez, who but Cipo can wear a white kit at his age, and still look good?

Haters gonna hate.

[thirdgenbird]

Nope

I'm guessing you are in the minority

[gemship]

Good question. Cipo is totally blessed with great god genetics regarding his body. I mean he is tall and muscular. He actually looks a bit too big in the upper body to be riding bikes. OTOH... this is a tribike and these kind of bicycles appeal to those that don't just ride but run and more importantly swim. So he almost looks like a swimmer as well as a biker.

It was a cheesy video :p

I wonder if this will be a successful bike for his business? Is his bike business a success? Who buys his bikes? Any forumites own a Cipo bike?

[thirdgenbird]

Pretty sure I've seen one or two of his bikes here. I hear they are fantastic.

[FlashUNC]

The video being terrible is kind of the point.

[fuzzalow]

Most anything to do with Cipo has to be viewed through the prism of Cipo. Which means even if this video is menz a menz, it's gotta be seen with the same devil-may-care attitude that makes Cipo Cipo. That guy is completely self-aware.

Saunters away at the end of the video with a blond and a brunette. Being Cipo means never having to decide!

[texbike]

Mario is so studly, they used his testicles to create the mold for "truck nuts".

These are still two of my favorite Cipo pics -

This.

But, it's "terrible" to us, but I wonder if the lion king thinks: "it's awesome!!" Cause that's just how he rolls. But, Cipo + terrible = AMAZING!!!

Everyone saw the photoset from his women's team's "training camp" right?

Can't ever get enough of Cipo

[sailorboy]

If Grant Peterson can have nightmares, that video has to be about what they would look like.

Actually he's not that tall..I met him at Interbike and he's shorter than me(5'11')..but he comes off as taller. Yup, cheesy and exactly what he wants to portray..the frame is pretty big in Europe..he's trying to get into the US.

[Keith A]

I thought Cannondale was "the best bike"?

Wow!:eek: He looks like 6,2 maybe give an inch. Hey I am like 5,10 on a good day and naturally built like LA. What a riot.... I never would believe that to look at him.

I did have that thought that in Europe this frame/bike could be pretty successful. Athough I have to say I don't like the Nuke word all loud and proud on the side of bike. I think it's a cheesy name, reminds me of a B movie title like "Nuke em high" or something of that nature.

[the bottle ride]

He is straight up cheesy- disco dude on a bike- but I love him: the style, the girls, the cars, the racing and the road bikes are bitching.

It is not a bad looking bike- it looks like I have to get used to brakes in fork legs on aero bikes...not into TT bikes but I would take road frame in a heartbeat.

[Fatty]

Some guys got it, and some guys don't.
No doubt Cipo's got it.
And I liked the video.

[gasman]

Haters gonna hate.

I don't hate him ,in fact I admire his ability to pull off what so few could dream of doing. I just thought the video sucked.

Still, in wish him luck.

[velotrack]

More hilarious than horrible. I was thoroughly entertained, though it doesn't make me want to buy that bike (at all) nor does it make me want what he's wearing.

He's 6'2" and 168 pounds (racing weight?) according to da wikipedia. If he's gained muscle but remained lean he's more than likely under 180 pounds. Any dude who is over 6 feet and weighs less than 180 wont be the most imposing figure. That might explain why OldP thought the was an average-sized cat. Anyway, pro cycling isn't bball or football (they prolly underreport, actually) so doubt the 6'2" figure is off by more than an inch.

Oh, and the video is redunkulously awful, intentionally or not.

No way..I'll dig that photo out, I'm standing next to him..I was an even 6 foot until I broke my back and then became 5'11' or so.

I posted a pic here but I'll be derned if I can find it. Interbike 2011.

Geeezz, I can't find it but I'm sure he was not as tall as me..much thinner too..

and the top 2 buttons on his shirts will last forever(never used).

[laupsi]

Super Mario may be a ladies man but he's no time trialist :)

[false_Aest]

Pretty much. Bond was over the top and well produced. This was crappy. Like playing Prince of Persia from 1991 after you play the PS4 version.

....and that wasn't long enough ago to generate nostalgia.

[spacemen3]

I'd ride that over some dumb-looking, soul-sucking Shiv. :)
