In 1972 I was in Milan and went to all the builders looking to purchase a bike. Cinelli was my first stop. Not sure who I talked with, but it was a female that spoke English well. I was told no bikes or frames were available as it was an Olympic year and they were sold out. She suggested that I talk with Masi, Rossin and others to acquire a bike. Also, it might be noted what Mr. Yoshi Konno, 3Rensho, did with Cinelli frames after the Olympics that he competed in. Mr. Yoshi Konno began his building career by unbrazing Cinellis acquired after the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. I understand that in those years Cinelli frame production was around 350-400 frames a year .
