Hmmm. I don't think it's all that bad... I think it's an early 1960s model B frame that has been fiddled with and poorly so...

Any chance at all this is what it purports to be? So many details look wrong: Fork crown, seat cluster, drop-out and fork end brazing, general quality of construction. It says it's a repaint.

Did Cinelli quality ever actually plunge to this dismal level at any time in the '70s? Or any other time?
