Mr K's 1982 Cinelli SC
I don't know much about road - so you tell me! Bought for a 100e as a holiday souvenir in Amsterdam - I love it! Might try a retro sportive as a result (once restored to road spec)...
Found these notes attached to a similar looking frame:
"Cinelli SC, although quite lovely, is NOT a "real Cinelli" since it's a frame made after the sale by Cino to Columbus. Cino Cinelli no longer had anything to do with the bikes and purportedly hated the later logos.
That being said, the Columbus era still produced some nice bikes and the Supercorsa, the model you posted was STILL being hand-made. Indeed, even though it later moved to Columbus Neuron tubing and the geometry got a bit tighter, the bikes still had ok quality and with a nod to SC of old. The later 90s and 2000 plus Supercorsas were actually built by Giovanni Losa, a respectable builder in his own right. Sadly, Losa became gravely ill and stopped building in 08-09. I'm not sure who is doing the latest SC builds as of '10."
