Cipollini MCM Allroad
Moderator: Moderator Team
Hi everyone !
I'm new on this forum : I'm a french cyclist from France. I'm practicing long-distance races, mostly on road but I like to do some gravel. I want to be able to ride fast everywhere.
I'm riding a titanium On One Pickenflick and I would like to try carbon : have anybody heard about the Cipollini MCM Allroad ? It looks like a good compromise, but it's really hard to find concrete informations on the internet about this frame.
Thanks !
Rémi.

If you want to pay in excess, Pinarello Grevil is also available.
Better buy a gravel bike and a road bike. Trying again, to mix gravel with road is not to bid success.
You might aswell buy a Open UP on some sale. Even so, wait a bit. During 2019 it's rumoured Open will release a new gravel frameset.

Pinarello Grevil looks horrible (to my mind)... I prefer the Cipollini ! I have now a road bike and a gravel... I only use the gravel :/ That's why I would like to afford a do it all frame, with enough clearance to fit 40mm tyres to play in gravel, but also enough stiff to play with friends on tarmac.
I was looking at the Open, 3T, Checkpoint, Diverge, and Ibis but somehow ended up ordering the Giant Revolt Adavanced 0 after riding it. Test rode all the mentioned above bikes, minus the 3T. The Open was the best overall bike but the Revolt wasn’t too far behind at a far better price.
Bianchi Oltre XR4, De Rosa SK Pininfarina, Trek Madone SLR, Giant TCR Advanced SL, Cervelo R5 Disk, Giant Revolt
The review from Cyclingtips isn't particularly good on the GR-S, and the claimed tire clearance doesn't measure up (which is shocking).

From the review i read on the MCM Allroad, it has a harsh ride. If you are willing to drop that sort of coin for a bike, i would suggest you take a look at the Open UPPER or Festka's new Rover. If you are more budget minded the Orbea Terra looks a pretty good value for the money.
gotta get a Z-Zero.. or Z1... not sure about Z2/Z3.. Chewy is overseas
