I hve read that Cinelli never produced more than ~700/yr, but can't remembrer the source. For comparison, again unsubstantiated, I believe that 350 was a great year for Paramount.

Anyone know what their production numbers were?Might be simple math to figure out if production was in house or farmed out. Based on maybe 20-25 per builder per month( would that be reasonable?) how many builders did he have? Did Cupertino bike shop ever actually stock framesets or did you have to order and wait?
