Hi Bob, I think it is generous of you to offer these gems to the list, but it also makes me sad, because I only read my email once a day, and as I found out a couple of weeks ago, those that get every single posting as it is submitted (don't you people work?) will no doubt snap everything up immediately. Thus I have no recourse except e-bay, unless I get lucky on the list. I'm not too fond of e-bay either.
Thank you to everyone who has responded with help and suggestions regarding my Cinelli restoration. I will give an update when I have finally figured out the approximate date the frame was made. That is still to be determined.
