Mr. Adriano Barbieri began his well known career as a bicycle mechanic. He loved his job, but soon grew weary of the constant repetition and back breaking work that it entailed. Happily Mr. Barbieri was a brilliant man whose ingenuity and creativity brought about the invention of the world's first Chain Cleaner. It was a simple, yet sophisticated gadget that revolutionized the 1980's method of bike chain cleaning.

The enormous success of this creation sparked his creativity even more and his brilliant mind began building yet another fine product that would advance the cycling industry. Late in the 80's Mr. Barbieri had another concept that stemmed from the need for riders to fill up their tires on the road, all the tire pumps on the market were way too cumbersome for comfort. He took the idea of having a smaller one and made the world's first mini-pump, a design that is still used today throughout the market. There are even mini-pumps made with carbon fiber to make them even lighter, and sexier.

Another great product in the Barbieri PNK line is the multi-tools that every able rider shouldn't be without. Imagine this, you're cruisin' along, no worries at all, wind in your hair, then unexpectedly your chain acts up. Fortunately if you have the Barbieri Carb 11 function tool, you can easily extract that broken link and replace it right there on the trail. A Barbieri tool saves the day!
