The fork crown/seat lug arrangement and drop outs are not manufactured by cinelli! That's the slightly modified Contini logo - which looks pretty much like Cinelli! They cast these parts themselves. Here's the head badge, as you can see it's a blatant rip off - chapeau to Contini!

Here's a lovely Carrera Gold by Contini, I've no idea how they got away with the copyright infringement on Cinelli (it's not as if they were using Cinelli lugs or fork crowns) but they did make some lovely frames.

This is a rare find, I think! Seller says it's aluminium, but all the Peugeot I know from this era are Vitus 979 style. This is much more like the PY10 FC as ridden by Robert Millar. Weird....!

Watched the rest of his videos on YouTube, he's only in it for craic. Good clean fun, with ample good quality Manc swearing. Recommended 😵🤙

He is trying to run a Campagnolo drive train with a shitty Ultegra rear derailleur - it's not Campagnolos fault he's a complete berk.... 😜

This is a Contini (Spain) built for Carrera, you can see the Cinelli logo on everything. Even the fork crown is not original Cinelli, it's been mugged up. I've seen one in the metal and they are well cast and beautifully finished, just nothing at all to do with their Italian namesake! I daresay...

The top caps on this Cinelli are very small and discrete, I'm wondering now if it's a cinelli at all! There were a few Spanish frame builders who used the cinelli logo on nearly every frame lug (they had obviously made a stamp or got them custom cast) so it's not even 100% sure a real Cinelli now 😵

Chorus. Athena was a bit fatter especially at the pedal ends. I've got a 58T drilled Record chainring in my box, no idea where it came from!

That's a unusual colour for a Gitane, they did some very nice flam and electric blue finishes also

Stuck seat post is always a worry, especially when they are rammed in so far to the tube...

Unfortunately the seller has posted only close up photos of the frame, with few details, I'm assuming it's been repainted, not a Super Corsa? Chrome underneath? Any thoughts?

Hurrah! Definitely one of the best resources online. But now Bulgier.net seems to be buggered.... 😲

Tidy, it looks like another Cavallo paint job - famous for their fades and Colnago style top tube airbrushing

This has come up locally for pretty cheap, I'm leaning towards an Italian frame but not sure. Any ideas? It's my least favourite frame colour, green, but it does come with a campag headset and bottom bracket.
