A question,

I just purchased a totally original (save seatpost) early 70's (methinks) Cinelli Speciale Corsa Track Bike. In looking at the old Velo-Retro Cinelli catalog, I find the Super Corsa but not the Speciale Corsa. I'd like to know the differences between these models. The Speciale has very fancy cut-out lugs... is that one difference?

I have posted 5 pictures of the bike at:

I took it out on the track last night (Encino Veledrome) and it rode just great. Given the tied and soldered spokes and really steep angles, I survived a hour ride feeling just fine

BTW, for those riders in Southern California, the Encino Velodrome is open for hack rider like myself on Wednesday nights between 5 and 8pm. It costs all of $5. Please let me know if anyone else would like to show up. I have vowed to ride the track once a week as a new years resolution and it feels just great.

cheers
