1970 Cinelli SC N+1
The latest addition is an Iconic 1970 Cinelli Supercorsa. PO had the frame refinished 10 years ago, and as usual I go with a period build with Campy, Cinelli, Fiamme, Regina. I won't get to ride it till the roads clean up in the spring.

I guess it's okay. If you like that sort of thing, that is. 
Oh, who am I kidding? It's beautiful. I bet it rides great, too.

Please take this as a caution, rather than a criticism. Most vintage hubs are not designed for radial spoking. (I broke a Shimano hub across three flange holes a couple of years after I radially spoked it.)
Other than that, the bike is indeed a stunner, and nicely equipped.
If I am doing my tooth jump counting properly, that looks like a 3-3-4-4 increment pattern in back, consistent with the very common 14-17-20-24-28. I couldn't get the Campag. NR on my Bianchi to handle more 26T in back.

The freewheel is a 14/28. NR rear derailleurs are rated up to 26 teeth. However, if one plays with chain length and position of the wheel in the dropout it shifts fine.
Thank you for your comments.

Cinelli 66 bars? And is that seatpost the famous one that requires the ":Z" wrench? ( I believe I still have mine.)
Beautiful bike!OP PO (Edit but OP too) had good tastes.

Yes, Cinelli 66 bars. I have a z wrench, but I don't find it helps. I use a regular combination end wrench to adjust the saddle on the post.
I bought the frameset from the PO and had the majority of the components in my boxes of stuff.

the head tube should have a two color made in Italy sticker- Greg Softley? Placement varies- sometimes at the top, sometimes at the bottom of the headtube. Last applied on top of the clear is correct.
