I've seen the Cinelli model B and it is lovely. Mike credits Tony Beek with the restoration.
FWIW, Tony Beek is/was a master painter and refinisher who generally restores bikes to better than original condition. I guess that could be seen as a negative thing in some circles. He has refinished 2 bikes for me and they were both sublime. He is also a precision machinist. If he can't find it, he makes it.
I wish Tony would build his own frames. He has that gene in him. Art for art's sake.
I've always coveted his daily rider, a Viking track bike, red with white panels.
