1985 585mm x 575mm SPX tubed Cinelli Supercorsa with last gen Super Record and a Cinelli V.I.P set. The geometry is very upright - 74 degree seat tube with a 75 1/2 degree head tube - very criterium and very twitchy but I still love it. It weighs 21 1/2 lb without the bottle.
👀👀👀 . . . You are def in the Colnago camp….WoW - Nice bevy of birds you have there.
All ride fine I’m sure?
Selling the Cinelli was bittersweet for me. Beautiful looking & riding bike. It handed like my Titans & understandingly so. My issue with it & you might think it silly (besides it being 59 cm), but I had lost my respect w/ it…due the the guy I initially bought it from. Kind of a long story that’s not worth getting into. Unbelievable great bike mechanic that turned out to be a worm.
In any event, I pd $900 new for it & sold it for $1500 to the Canadian. He rode for a bit, then slapped a set of Shamal wheels on & dumped it for $5k. Said it it was a bit too small for him. Prolly saw a chance to turn a buck…dunno
For such a fancy bike, the paint chipped easily which should not have happened?
