Unknown Cinelli frame
 

Can anyone help about identification of this Cinelli frame?
i know only that it has Columbus dropouts and 26.8 seat post diameter.
There are no better pics.

It's a Cinelli BB shell, many builders used these. If this is the only reason to think of Cinelli ...

Not a Cinelli frameset. No way.

see nothing to suggest a Cinelli origin for the frameset

Those are the same as Shimano EF rear dropouts.

That is late 80s-early 90s Exage (300EX or Motion) and it was close to the bottom of Shimano’s road group hierarchy at the time.

fun fact, Exage was available with turkey levers 😂

That seatpost might need to be inserted more. Dangerous situation that could damage both rider and frame. How about the curve/bend on the fork blades? Not really a curve. More like a straight fork with a bend in the middle.

But, what monstrosity uses a Cinelli "spoiler" IC BB shell, but Shimano EF (stamped Columbus) DOs, that weird fork and even weirder "extended" seatlug/seat post?
I'd be tempted to say a "home-build" by somebody just learning (and making mistakes)!

Is the rear shifter cable routed through the chainstay?

Nah it's just a fancy eyelet.

Looks like a "dropped" top tube--a trend in the early 1990s.
