Hello Norm,
Great looking bike! Michael did and excellent job, I know its difficult to get that Cinelli silver just right. Judging by the photos, it looks very accurate to my eyes. Theres also the debate about "leaving well enough alone" or proceding with a full restoration. Its a tough call sometimes, the frame just looks so much nicer now.
Regards, Dave Martinez Fremont Ca US of A where im assembling a restored 1951 cinelli

A few months back I posted pictures of a very rusty Cinelli, well it is now back from the painter's (Bicycle Specialties / Mike Barry) and built up. Conversations with the original owner helped verify that the components are correct and many are original.
Here is a link to the pictures, both before and after.

Let me know if there is any problem with the link. I do not always have success with Yahoo Photos.
