cicli SANNINO Torino
GROWING UP IN ITALY…
As he was growing up in Torino, Italy, young Mauro Sannino did not spend much of his free time with schoolmates. Instead, after school he would hurry to the nearby shop of his grandfather, a former pro team mechanic who had worked at both the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia before the war, and who afterward opened a frame repair shop in his native city. He taught his eager grandson the fundamentals of filing, brazing, mitering, and geometric design, introducing him to what would become his life’s passion.
After finishing his secondary schooling, Mauro knew exactly what his trade would be. Although for two years he tried his hand at racing bikes, his interest was primarily in building them, so he apprenticed himself to the famous Signor Gios, and worked for years at Gios Torino, perfecting the skills he first learned in his grandfather’s little shop. He was not completely satisfied, though. He wanted to broaden his knowledge of competition frame design and construction, so he left Gios and worked for other small frame makers in Torino, the city that was then perhaps the world capital for frame construction, and a mecca for craftsmen like himself. He watched, imitated, listened, and always, he learned.
Still not content, Sannino wanted to be in a position to make his own frame design, not just copies of other builders’. So, with his savings and some family support, he bought the necessary equipment and set up his own shop. But he didn’t try to sell right away. For four years Sannino would build frames with no thought of profit. He gave them away to local racers right and left, experimenting with seemingly minute variations in angles, fork rake, wheelbase, chain stay length, and all the small but vital components of frame construction. By his own admission, mounds of material were discarded. But by close collaboration with riders, and a tenacious optimism that would not let him give up, he finally did succeed in developing his design and his skills to the point where he was ready to enter the international market. That was in 1979.
Since ’79, Sannino frames have become well-known in Europe. They are used by the national and Olympic squads of Poland (for whom Signor Sannino worked for years as a technical expert), the Women’s and Junior Men’s teams of the Soviet Union, as well as national class riders in Italy such as Stefano Baudino, already, at 20 years old, the kilometer champ of Italy.
Signor Sannino has also collaborated with the technical staff of the Italian cycling federation, with access to their computer and wind tunnel facilities, and with Dr. Giovanni Savio of Galli in developing the “Criterium,” “Contre la Montre,” and “KL” models.
A technician by trade, but a perfectionist by nature, Signor Sannino has not stopped thinking, refining, improving, innovating. Besides his production bicycles, he always is working on prototypes in his shop, such as the kilometer bike displayed at the ’83 Milan show, and the 1984 American expos in Long Beach, Chicago, and New York. Some of these creations never see the light of day. If Signor Sannino decides a design does not yield practical advantages, no matter how sound the theory, he will refuse even to display it.
That’s the philosophy at Cicli Sannino. It’s grown up with the owner.
