Last year I wrote a blog about Clapton's Cinelli obsession, with some links
to some photos of Clapton hisself 'con Cinelli': http://retroride.blogspot

Two of the bikes on Cla
pton's blog are also on John Barron's Velostuff site: http://www.velostuf.c

Clapton is apparently a big Cinelli fan -- page through that same blog some more and you'll find more evidence:

on some of these pages, you might have to scroll down a coup le pictures to see the bikes.
Thing is, I remember reading years ago (like, 20 years) in one of the cycling magazines -- possibly Bicycling, but more likely, Bicycle Guide (which I liked infinitely better, and subs cribed to, and miss a lot) -- that Clapton was big into cycling and there was this photo of him taking delivery of a new bike. I don't have the ma gazine anymore, but I seem to remember that the bike was a new Colnago wi th the full Campagnolo SR gruppo, and he was taking the bike from Sr. Col nago himself. The article mentioned that growing up he had ambitions to b e a bicycle racer, but the music became the bigger deal for him.
