About Chesini

Chesini produced vintage bicycle frames

The first bike of the Chesini brand was made by Gelmino Chesini in 1925. The first model of their racing bike range, the CHESINI BICIPRECISION, was made in Nesente, a small village near Verona, Italy. In the post war period, the business expanded rapidly and in 1947 Gelmino Chesini acquired the CICLI VALLETTI bike factory and moved the headquarters of Chesini Bikes to Via San Paolo in Verona, Italy.
