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.
