Cinelli Road Bike - any idea of value or model?

Hi
I have a very light weight steel road bike, that has a really bad paint job. I started to remove the paint and found "Cinelli - Made in Italy" stamped on the bottom bracket.
This is a lovely bike, but just wondering if it might be more interesting than I first thought. I can't find any frame number, seems to have the letter J on the bottom bracket. It also has a small tag on the top tube for attaching a race number. Bike came with Shimano 105 gear and brakes and has a 3ttt Forma SL handle bar. It is quite a big bike, too big for me sadly (from BB to top of seat post is 59cm). Any info or idea of value would be welcome. If anyone interested let me know (in Stoke-on-Trent). Couple of pictures attached, thanks.

Re:

cinelli under the BB means that a cast Cinelli bottom bracket was used to construct the frame, which points to quality workmanship and a good frame.
However, it doesn't mean its a cinelli frame ... your detective work begins ...
