I purchased this bike on eBay last July from a seller in Italy. There was a mistake in the labeling, and the bike box was lost during shipment. I received a full refund and assumed it was gone for good. That was until a few weeks ago when I received a call from UPS and was asked if I was looking for a Cinelli mountain bike from Italy, so after seven months it shows up. I promised the eBay seller we’d settle up if it ever arrived so now it’s mine and I’ve started to put it together. I love the Italian road bike manufactures take on mountain bikes of this era. This one looks like it could’ve been in an episode of Miami Vice when Don Johnson had long hair. I’m experimenting with some wheel and tire options.
