Today I picked up a CINELLI SC which had been sitting in a
garden shed up in the NAPA VALLEY(82o today) for quite a while.The
serial number is 1077 and I am guessing it is a mid 60s bike.
Interesting features on this bike are STEEL BADGE STEM and STEEL GIRO
bars(unfortunately look to be 37cm or so) GREASE fitting in top of BB
and also screw hole at bottom of BB.
RECORD derailleurs with cable housing stops on levers,NR cranks
with no date ,UNIVERSAL 61s,HIGH flange hubs and not very straight
FIAMME REDS.
Perplexing is the total lack of chrome on lugs,ends or crown,I
know this is not common as I have seen only one other as I recall.The
bike also has a DARK gray paint job which maybe a repaint(circa 1972 or
so )and looks very thin(looking at nicks and scratches)
Any enlightenment appreciated
