Very nicely preserved and maintained Cinelli, well bought sir. I have read and seen pictures of the steel Cinelli stems at Classic Lightweight UK, Peter Underwood searched long for his that is pictured there. First alloy example I have any recollection about. Enjoy this beauty!

Amazing find! Here's how would I like to imagine the transaction:
elguicho: "Really nice bike, I LOVE it! I'd like to buy it. What'll it take?"
seller: "I dunno... Hundred bucks?"
elguicho: "OK."

I was not THAT lucky. They knew what they had and I paid a fair price but I did get lucky on the fact that it was really well preserved and that it was mi size.
