Dale,

Wow, cool, that's a beauty. I haven't ever seen a bike like it, what a unique seat tube (tubes?). Are those the infamous M-71 Cinelli pedals I've heard about and never seen before? Why do they call them death trap or whatever? What make and model are the handlebars, I want a pair just like it!!!

I finally took some better pictures of one of my favorites...

My business partner & I bought this bike at the 1975 NY Bike Show, where it was on display in the Cycle Imports booth (The couple who ran the company were the Richmonds from Cornish, Maine, who were also representatives of McLean {USA} frames.) I sold it many years ago and by sheer luck (and friends!) reclaimed it a few years ago..
