tbh it doesnt look like a cinelli to me. lugs remind me more of a british lightweight or something. 60s, early 70s..?
you have a photo of the full build on which you can actually make something out?
and, if you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it?
Thanks Rodolfo,
I've not been mugged fortunately as I bought it eyes wide open knowing it was more likely not a Cinelli - the guy didn't have a clue, it was just how it had been sold to him... I paid £400, but the components are good enough to warrant the spend even if the frame isn't a Cinelli, it's a solid build and well made and came with Brooks Swift saddle, Shimano 600 callipers,
Shimano crankset, new BLB levers, all new cabling, new Campangolo headset, new Charge rims, new tubes and Kenda tyres and it's not been ridden since it was built and powder coated. Plus there's an extra chainwheel and a Cinelli stem provided. So all in I don't think I've been done...
I hope these photos will make it a bit clearer - I need all the help I can get to identify it and my knowledge is not great - all help massively appreciated as I'm really keen to work out what it is.
