New frame - waited 6 months!

Cinelli super corsa pista. I always wanted the Lemon Cinelli Olympic with the chrome rear end. 2 years ago I made an order for a condor classico, going through the sizing, spec and completing the order with a bloke at Condor. Then when I went upstairs to pay and sign for it, some dude rolled in on a lemon Cinelli. Told condor I'd changed my mind, they were well pissed.

The new Pista has all the chrome, but the yellow is like 'curry' so they did me a special order in lemon. Total nightmare getting it done but now its here... and there's plenty of summer left!

shoulda taken the classico.

Apart from the colour ;) that's an elegant piece of steel you have there.

Congratulations - it looks amazing - u made the right choice. Great colour.

nice. how much?

it looks like a katana tsunami.

i'm joking. it's nice.

£199

nice! hed3 for the front then?

That's very nice matey. Be nice to see it built up as well, enjoy! :)

blimey, what a lot of sarcastic comments... may i just say that that is fucking sweet. quel wheels?

Very nice indeed. :)

well I've waited for bloody ages so I've had time to save! Campy sherrif stars, mavic open pro silver, vintage fluted campy pista chainset etc

The Katana Tsunami has to be the nicest made frame I have ever picked up, even peering down the tubes at the internal mitering within the seat cluster you can see the builder is possibly a little OCD when it comes to attention to detail. The finish is fantastic, the chroming on the lugs very nice too.

Mind you I have not had the chance to molest a Cinelli Olympic frameset which also looks pretty swish.

I'll spray your back wheel orange for a tenner.

Agree on the Katana . . but i got shot down for pointing this out . . . that cinelli is the nuts, definitely the right choice over the condor.

Don't worry, just a bunch of tossers more worried about the name and image rather than the frame itself. ;P

burn them

sear their heads off

Amazing.
So what happened to the original supercorsa pista?

now now tynan, take it easy there.

this thread is centred on an image of an unbuilt frame that was chosen on a whim instead of a condor classico pista.

how much really? it's nice.

Stunning, and I like the sound of the build parts too.

Would you call the decision in the shop a good example of Thin-Slicing then?

£700?

So ? My comments were are about the Katana frame.

"I always wanted the Lemon Cinelli Olympic with the chrome rear end" - doesn't sound like a whim to me. Have you also established that the Condor Classico was not chosen on a whim ?

Very nice- esp the colour

lovely frame :-)
