Lovely Cinelli with some subtle italian red green coloring! :)
The bottle cage is a bit to flashy for this bike i think.
 
After some work on it, here it is finished and shining.
Take it out for a ride and it's realy beautiful with it's drop :D
I really like that bar, you've plenty of places to put your hand and it's comfortable even on steep downhill ;)

Many thanks :D I do think that this kind of frame it's far away better with drops ;)

Well, honestly I live in ... :D

machine "stradalizzata"

Ciao Salvatore.
Grande conversione.
Le leve da strada con i cantilever low profile danno una buona sensazione?
Io ho stradalizzato pure una Cinelli Ottomilauno.
Pace e bici.

Ecco la mia Cinelli Ottomilauno dell'89, sverniciata, nichelata e cotta in forno col trasparente e stradalizzata.
