Harvey and Mordecai,
The strange thing with my Cinelli is that as you say it has the braze-on shifter mounts, bottle cage mounts and the cable guides on top of the bottom bracket but no brake cable guides on the top tube. Strange to do all that and leave off the brake cable guides. A transition bike maybe? Also as I have mentioned to Mark Petry it has a very unusual serial number 7.100 with the 7 and 100 separated by a period. Mark says that does NOT sound like a Cinelli serial number but it IS a Cinelli. The Nuovo Record derailleur has Patent 76 and the crank has 76 in a diamond so I assume it is around 1976. At the moment I am riding the bike with HF Record hubs and Super Champion rims from my Carlton.
