  • What was the connection between Cinelli/Rossin and so on and the former Soviet Union countries/Warsaw Pact?

    as far as i know, Rossins in that white color-scheme with red stripes were like team issue bikes for Soviet Cycling team in mid-80ies. closer to the end of the decade, top cyclists got those Cinelli Lasers. but what is strange, they also should've come in white color scheme - just like the two that hrrundel has/had, or the one ridden by Nikolay Kovsh in his famous match against German guy in Seoul Olympics in 88.

    so why these are all of a sudden blue, not white, escapes me. i am not sure Soviets could import team edition Cinellis and general issue Cinellis along the way.
