I heard that most 90's Cinelli's were built in Giovanni Losa's shop. He was a top-notch builder, but his name seldom appeared on his frames.
Cromor is the same steel as SL, but seamed. Supposedly the seamed tubes are just as good as the seamless, just a little cheaper to make. I had an Olmo with Cromor, it was labeled Matrix, but they got sued by Trek and had to change the name. I thought it rode great.
