Charles,

There's something fishy about that bike, maybe several things. Can't tell exactly from the pictures (gee, I wonder why) but lots of things don't match up. Doesn't look like a 52cm frame to me from the picture either. Personally, I'd be cautious at the very least.

> Interesting Cinelli here. Unless it's a repaint (which doesn't appear to be the case), this is one of those unusual Cinellis made after Columbus bought the company, but with the old-style graphics set. Be interesting to know if the flying *C* logo appears stamped in the rear brake bridge.
