MCipollini, the bike brand of now retired sprint ace Mario Cipollini, has launched a new road bike called the Lògos that is cheaper than the existing RB1000 and RB800. 
The Lògos is a monocoque made from T700 carbon whereas the RB1000 and the RB800 are both made from T1000 M46J. T700 is still a high-quality material, used by many other manufacturers, and the fork is made from the same stuff.
    
Cipollini say, “We worked hard to keep production costs down without sacrificing quality; it was a monumental effort but we succeeded: the “fruit of reason” is the logic behind inimitable champions like the RB1000 and RB800.”
The frame weight of the Lògos, according to Cipollini, is 1,200g. That’s for an unpainted medium size. The geometry is slightly different from that of either the RB1000 and RB800, most notably in that the head tube is a little longer and the top tube a little shorter. It’s not like Cipollini have gone all ‘sit-up-and-beg’, though; that head tube is still only 170mm on the large sized frame. 

This is a high-performance bike with features like an integrated seat post, internal cabling and BB30 bottom bracket…
