Is this/he one of ours? (1963 Cinelli content)
I just stumbled onto this article in Pez Cycling. It's about a beautifully restored 1963 Cinelli SC, pictured below, owned by a certain Paul O'Neal in Bend OR. The article says that bike and rider are Cino Heroica veterans. Is this one of our C&V peeps and bikes?
I like the idea of being able to swap out parts to make it either (a) rideable with reasonable gears while still C&V appropriate or (b) decked out in all 1963-era components for exhibition/showing off. It's pretty clear that a lot of thought and love went into this.
And where did Paul find matching cable housing?

Can't answer your questions but what a gorgeous bike! Love the chrome lugs/accents.

Very nice bike. It's fun figuring out how to mod old bikes to make them suitable for serious hill climbing. Someone on BF likely knows the owner of that bike who may well be a member.
