Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Cinelli Gazzetta Della Strada. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
7 reasons to buy
- The Gazzetta's style has received positive responses; it is intended to emulate classic touring bicycles. The style and finish (including flourishes on bottle-mounts and seat-clamps) was appreciated.
- Two sets of brakes make this bike easy to ride through city areas, riding in an alert, upright position.
- The chromoly steel frame was commended for its durability as well as its comfortable fit and ride.
- It was deemed as ideally-suited to urban riding, commuting and shopping, due to the carrying capacity of the racks and the racy geometry.
- Double-sided pedals allow the versatility of riding with either casual or clipless cycling shoes.
- In wet weather, the mudguard came in handy.
- The Brooks leather seat is a high-end addition that some riders valued.
4 reasons not to buy
- Both experts and buyers were frustrated by the relatively low-grade componentry.
- Value wasn’t seen as the best, considering parts quality.
- Many reviewers remarked on the heavier-than-usual weight of this bike.
- The handlebar brake-levers get in the way of large loads and forbid the use of a handlebar-bag.
Bottom line
The Gazzetta Della Strada is seen by most riders as a bike perfectly suited to urban use. The classic presentation was what attracted most buyers initially, with the steel frame being seen as a reliable bonus. The componentry was seen as a little under par, considering the average price. As such, the cost of upgrading parts may put some prospective buyers in mind of spending more on a model with a higher-quality drivetrain. That said, long-term users enjoyed the bike and usually rated it highly.Expert Reviews
