...I did some more paint repairs, and after fixing up and reassembling a Cinelli SC and a Colnago Super (both from the 80's, I think), I got to ride them.
I don't know what I was expecting, exactly. I decided after a number of rides that they are fine bicycles, but no better or worse than a number of other fine marques.

So on the one hand, I'm pleased I finally have a Cinelli SC and a Colnago Super.
And on the other hand, I'm pleased that I have had a number of bikes I thought their equal, and for a longer time. So I guess I wasn't missing much.

Mostly, I am very impressed with more modern rims and tyres. But that's been going on since before 2020. And I still wish I were as fast as I once thought I was.
