I found the article in WINNING of June 1987. It says (in part), "Eric Clapton, legendary blues guitarist whose work with the Yardbirds, John Mayall, Cream and Blind Faith during the '60s established musical trends still evident today, also had some pretty fast legs before his fingers took over and made him a star. The man....was a promising amateur cyclist in his youth and he has maintained his fondness for cycling. Now in his forties, Clapton lives near Milan, Italy,....ansd is frequently seen walking through the doors of the GRAN CICLISMO shop on Via Folli. Recently he went one step further-to the Cinelli factory in Milan, whre he picked up a made-to-order Cinelli Super Corsa. As per his request, the factory inscribed Clapton's bright red machine with his nickname, "Slowhand".
There is foto with Clapton and Antonio Colombo with the very, bright RED Cinelli.
