Yup, I get it, I've read the thread and understand the whole thing. I just don't think the history and rarity of the frame and parts make it substantially different from any other NJS* build. It's cool, it's porn, it's just looks kinda normal. The fact that the stem's Cinelli and not Nitto doesn't make much aesthetic difference, imo.
*of course, there is a reason for this.

While I'm not going to argue as taste is subjective, I have to disagree about it being your typical NJS bike.
The frame alone sets it apart. It has an NJS Cinelli cockpit you rarely see plus the NJS Sheriff Star hubs (basically a typical NJS bike consists of Japanese parts (Nitto/Shimano) while this is a Cinelli bike). The 3Rensho seat compliments and finishes off the bike perfectly.
Regardless of if you think you might've seen it (or something similar) before, it's still a p0rn bike in my opinion. A nice change from for example the dozens of Pinarello's which all look the same to me.
