Speaking of Cinellis.........a store in Portland, OR has an interesting one for sale. It is a small frame--looks to be about 52cm, I didn't measure it. It looks like a "B" frame, looks to be of 1950's vintage--has Campagnolo stamped dropouts, fender bosses in brake and chainstay bridges, and a square shouldered fork crown. It has been repainted white with Cinelli decals by Cyclart. The wheels are nutted FB hubs with Ghisallo wood rims and tubular tires, brakes are Universal 61 centerpull, drive train is a single steel chainring on Magistroni cottered cranks with Gran Sport rear derailleur and four-speed freewheel. They want $1000.00. It is at: Multnomah Bicycle Shop, 503-245-5615. Cinelli seekers take note.
