It's a crime to keep this old Italian beauty locked up in my shop at the time of year when central Texas has its best cycling weather, but too many obligations don't allow me time to ride. Time to set her free.

Sheldon Brown rated these old Cinellis as among the most sought-after of the vintage lightweights. Unlike its human master, this Super Corsa has held its weight at a svelte 21lbs, and still has a wonderfully responsive ride quality. Components are not original to this bike, but came from an slightly earlier model Super Corsa. Notice the pantographed shift levers with the Cinelli logo. The paint is not in perfect condition, with a few minor chips here and there. Chrome is in good shape, but has some speckling. Should clean up pretty easily, if you're picky about that sort of thing. This bike has had recent service, and just needs to be dusted off and have a set of pedals added. She's ready to roll.

Serious buyers only. No tire kickers, please. Cash only, local pick-up. Call (512) 965-3686 if interested.
