Hello Michael,

I applaud you for such a fantastic find! I'd estimate that your Cinelli Mod B is from the late 50s to '60.

Are those Simplex or Campag dropouts? Is the backround color of the badge dark blue or black? Can you measure the badge? The very early Cino Cinellis had badges that were a tad larger than what came later.

Afew years back, I met a guy at Talbots Bikeshop in San Mateo Ca (first to import DeRosas in the USA). He had a Cinelli just like yours. Back in the early 60s he was in the Air Force stationed in Germany, thats when he purchased his Cinelli Mod B. He was getting it up graded(?) at Talbots with Campagnolo Ergo : (

Regards, Dave Martinez collects cinellis like hugh hefner collects blondes Niles Ca. US of A

You can check it below: http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/Drexl/Cinelli+B/IMG_4175.JPG.html Seems like Kim has a similiar frame like mine. You can check my bike in my Wooljersey album. Does anybody can give a figure what year it is? Serial No is 4723 but that indicates nothing. I suspect it is from around 1955 to 1960 due to a open-C clamp that came on the bike and it's headset.
