Thanks a lot @wildwest!!!

Perhaps not 1706.88. 56cm.

Please PM me if so thanks

is that a modern produced frame?)

Yes - Cinelli Super Corsa Pista. This one is a one-off colour though - bright lemon, though the photos don't show it well.

ongoing project. New saddle. Its actually quite comfortable.

campa sheriff star hubs for the streets???

Totally. I've never an issue... but I don't ride every day and don't go up and down curbs a lot.

Yep Merckx is gone too. I do regret it a bit - like a few of the other frames I let go... oh well.

Bloody hell, amazing.

Is the lemon yellow one you always coveted? Didn't you sell a slightly different yellow one?

Yep its the colour I was after all along, everything else is gone.

Haven't been on here in ages. Miss the humour and abuse!

First ride of the Summer. Ok I'm an optimist.

Definitely African, only in Africa you can find leopards.

And Brazil I think. They have nice birds too.

^ Great job Chris. Looks awesome.

Can't wait to see your Merckx built.

It'll take some time as this cinelli has bankrupt me. Heres the fork for the merckx when it comes together:

thats alot of cinelli you've had, why so much change around?

I first saw one in London, and asked Cinelli to paint one for me (as they'd stopped doing that colour) but when it came it wasn't the exact lemon shade. Then I sold that and regretted it, so went through the whole thing again, but again it wasn't 100% the right colour (more yellow than green/yellow). Then I had a big smash on that one so had to get a replacement so decided to ask for a specific bright lemon colour. I actually now think the one I saw on the road that got me in to them was actually the same colour all along and it was a trick of the light. Oh well.

do you mind if i ask how much money you had to part with to have one?

Makes me embarrassed just thinking about it to be honest. The good thing is they hold their value(ish).

Why so many Cinelli frames Jon?

Have you built the Merckx pista yet?

I just love the simplicity of the graphics and the style. I have only one now, this one. Haven't built the Merckx up yet. Still getting the parts together. That'll be a long project as the cinelli has wiped out my bank account ha

@jonhings - where did you pick that lovely supercorsa pista up! i love that frame, nice build!

Thanks a lot. It was a special order from Italy. I wrote letters to them and they finally agreed to do it in the bright lemon colour they used to use on the estrada. These pics don't do the colour justice, its this colour:

I've had 4 of these cinelli pistas now, 2 bright yellow, and one blue. I'm gonna keep this one forever.

bellisima cinelli

what crank is it riding.... very tidy.... im aroused

Thanks. Campag Pista crankset, the fluted ones.

And I like it the best.

my current project

getting this lot sorted out (there's another bike, a frameset and a set of wheels & bits 'n' bobs in my living room too)

NICE! What black rims are they mate?

Just a critical note on the wonderful paint job: I see 2 yellow "France" decals on one side and 2 pink "Italy" decals on the other.
Shouldn't it be one yellow France and one pink Italy on both sides?

You're right yes. I dunno why that is. I've ordered a decal to replace one of them. Forks are flat crowned with merckx logo'd tops. I'll post them

Got the chrome forks to match.

So good

Pretty much finished the master pista

Totally amazing mate. Great set up. Gotta love the sherrif stars too.

prett much finished the Gazelle
mostly Dura Ace and Sugino

What rims are those mate?

Sheriff stars w/ Omega V's.

Always fantastic

Freakin nice, where u got that from, if you don´t mind asking?

Ebay. The bars are nitto, stem vintage cinelli 1a. I bought some other track forks to drill., the original blue cinelli forks are wrapped up safe and sound. I'm not brave enough to ride brakeless in NYC and I don't mind admitting it.
