Ah, just the name of Mario Cipollini sounds like a short poem! From the early 1990’s until 2005, this Italian party-animal topped the upper echelons of world bicycle racing like foam on a cappuccino. Without him, it just wouldn’t be the same! Nowadays, Cipollini bicycles are masterworks of the highest quality.
Not surprisingly, the Glassbrothers’ homage to this cyclist is among the examples of the most refined artwork they have to offer. The virtuously executed lighted glass cutting on a mirrored disc in a ‘golden’ hoop, replacing a tube tire, is placed into the back structure of a bicycle that may or may not evoke the wire spokes of a wheel. It lives its own grand lifestyle.
