Chesini Florentia MMXIII

Last September, UCI Road World Championships have been held in Florence (Firenze), Tuscany, Italy. Italian bicycle manufacturer Chesini wanted to celebrate this event with a limited bike series (MMXIII equals 2013 in Roman numerals). Many years have passed from the first professional edition of the championship held in 1927 but the excitement remained as high as ever. For this reason, commemorative bicycles would be build using steel, the most important material for the history of cycling.

The artisanship of Chesini and the creativity of SAK_ART DESIGN, a known brand in industrial and lifestyle design, have come together and with a common passion created these unique bicycles. Every FLORENTIA MMXIII honors all Italian cyclists that won the world championship, starting from 1927. This limited series of 15 numbered pieces are handmade to measure for every customer.

The frames are manually airbrushed and available in two variants, black and white. This last version features a complex texture based on the world championship iris logo colors, repeated in the graphics and in the Chesini logo.

Every bicycle is numbered and features the name of the Italian cyclist it honors, together with the date and place of the world championship won.

No Florentia MMXIII is then the same to one another but at the same time, all fifteen bikes make their owners part of a fascinating and unique cultural and sports story.
