The Cinelli Model B was a lower priced model than the Supercorsa- probably because of the use of lower end components.But was the B also intended more for touring than the SC- slacker angles, flat fork crown allowing for better shock absorption than a sloping crown, etc.? Or was the B also considered a racing bike? This would make it a situation similar to the Raleigh Pro vs. their International. The International had slacker angles and longer wheelbase.
