About the Cinelli used on Red Hook crit, it's simply not worth anything, really.
this is only an opinion, and therefore could be viewed as 'simply not worth anything really'
the re issue lasers started at around 9,000 i believe
''For 2012, Cinelli is reissuing a limited run of this Laser Nostra built and designed by the same three people. The new version follows the geometry and manufacturing techniques of the originals but gets Columbus’ new Spirit steel tubes, made of Niobium steel (steel with manganese, chrome, nickel, molybdenum and niobium). This material lets them manipulate the tubesets via triple butting, getting as thin as 0.38mm in places, for a high strength to weight ratio.''
I thought the highest bidder for Obree's bike was actually the seller, that changed his mind at the end and controversially kept it to avoid legal and moral issues. But I might be wrong.
About the Cinelli used on Red Hook crit, it's simply not worth anything, really. A couple of thousands maybe? Just because it's Cinelli, winning bike (for the smallest bicycle competition ever??) and all?
I would really like to know who bought it at the end, just to understand which kind of marketing trick is behind all of this.
