I haven't seen many true Cinelli frames for less than $200
It looks TIG welded. And no bolt through the seat stays. Odd.

This has to be the worst touch up job I have ever seen. Looks like the paint was applied with a a rabbits foot. And the fork is questionable as to being rideable. Otherwise it's a Celeste Bianchi in my size.

Poor Serotta, it tried. But at 58mm I guess it came up a bit short. Well, other than the ad wording the bike itself looks okay, though I don't know much about Serottas, especially later models.

I have a aluminum frame Serotta tried bike. I am not 100% sure of the frame size but I think it is 58mm. It comes with 650 wheels and a bag with a spare. Bike still rides great.$200 or best offer

I think the bumpy look you're seeing is chipped paint that has only been partly filled, giving it the contour of the chips.

These are my favorite ads - I picked up a Columbus framed beauty from an ad with one underlit, grainy photo and a headline "Black man's bike'....

Not very old but surely wacky. There is a thumb control for adjustment of ride height. Front wheel is 20" and rear is 16"

It could give a nice frame, crankset, and hubs for building up your vintage single speed racer. Add wing nuts and a flip-flop?
