I had a couple of questions for Cinelli-philes about this bike, outed by Ken Sanford:

http://ebay.com/<blah>

I think Edward Brooks had it right, this is a 70s bike. I was under the impression that earlier cinelli track bikes had a different lug, without holes in them, and this bike has the later silver-finish headbadge. Older ones have the brass badge, yes? nice bike, but not 1960s, I'm thinking.

I know just enough about Cinellis to be dangerous...and I give Edward Brooks all respect for not being apoplectic that the seller is trying to get 4 times what he originally sold it for...
