RIGI Bici Corta

High-grade steel and other refinements

This model bears the epithet ‘Bici Corta’ (short bike) and any tape measure confirms that it is six centimetres shorter than conventional racing bikes, with a wheel base measuring 37.5 inches. (See the W. & R. BAINES V.S. 37 on page 134). With the foreshortened wheel base the seat tube needs to split for the rear wheel to sit through the middle. Just like the V.S. 37, the Rigi (short for Rinaldi Giorgio, the name of the company’s founder) promises perfect manoeuvrability for time trials and superior handling on hill climbs.
The frame consists of stainless steel, drawing upon aerospace technology, with a particular silver solder required to connect the tubes. The bike was made by the Rima company (short for Rinaldi Marco, son of Giorgio), manufacturer of office equipment and furniture for educational institutions. The number of the bicycle shown is 2. In 1979 the Rigi Bici Corta was nominated for the ‘Compasso d’Oro’, an award given for excellent Italian design.
