Couldn't help taking pics of this beauty. It was a display prop in Harvey Nichols Istanbul windows. Juicy Bike it is! :D

What's weight of the frame and fork? Since it's Niobium Spirit steel, the tubing walls should be 0.38mm !!!

May be has a setup with left side chainwheel? Custom cog and lockring would do :P

These are £690 - custom order. Not cheap, but not 1200 either. I've ordered one and it'll be ready for the summer.

Where did you order the frame from? How long is the waiting list? I'm going to have a business trip to London on 19th, want to order a yellow frame. No Cinelli dealers in Turkey...

Cinelli, much like Campagnolo, had produced parts for framebuilding. The BB shell is just that, a Cinelli produced part. If that is what you are basing your opinion of the bike being a Cinelli, you could be way off the mark. Cinelli's generally had a very distinctive seatstay joining method to the seat lug.They were fastback, but they had their own way of doing it. I tried looking for a pic of vintage cinelli stays and came up short on google. Sorry I cant be of more help.

I know that they made BB shells for frame builders, that's why I was wondering if mine was the real thing or not. So far, I thought it was just a custom made frame with Cinelli and Campy parts.

Thanks to your comment on the seatpost area, I've found some pics regarding seat post clamp area; comparing to original Cinelli frames, mine has a similar shape but it's different in detail. The original detail has a straight cut below the bolt area, mine looks like it's drilled round. I think it proves that my frame isn't the real thing.

Here are the original Pista photos:

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum.

For about a year, I've been collecting parts etc. I live in Istanbul and have to eBay or import every single part. The fact is, I don't know if my frame is a genuine Cinelli or not. A "131" serial number is stamped on the BB. Bought "as used" on eBay with all orange poor paint. As I started collecting parts, I came by rare and valuable parts and spent a lot on them. Now I want to be sure if the frame is the real thing or not.
