Has anyone ever found their “holy grail” bike but it was on the other side of the country? And you didn’t know anyone there?
If so and you bought the bike. How did you do it?
I ask because I found an almost grail bike. It’s the correct model, size and vintage. Just not color (beggars can’t be that choosy).
Cheers

You can also ask on this thread, or make a thread looking for help. There are BF members pretty much everywhere and they tend to be a pretty helpful bunch. Doing a deal long distance can have some pitfalls and shipping can be pricey, but if you are looking at your "grail Bike" these are just obstacles to be overcome. Clear information/good communication will be your friend.

IdahoBrett In addition to facilities you find here, you might find a bike shop which can pack and ship your almost grail bike.

Its a real Cinelli, just not as vintage as the decals portrait.

I don't claim to be an expert but I do know an SC has to have the iconic seatstay treatment which this one does not.
I don't think this is any Cinelli we normally concern ourselves with if it is one.
It has a vintage SC decal which aside from being very wrong is blatant fraud, even stupid IMO.
