1991 Cinelli “The Machine” build thread

Wooow, visually stunning ! Like the others, I love the colors you chose ! Serious bike with just what's needed for the fun !
Ooooh, I just saw that the stem and the bottle holder, some bits of the saddle and the brake levers, are the same color as the letters of the logo on the frame. Genius !

Cinelli test ride complete. Rides great, looks better imo. Top tube shape shift to seat post reminds me of the mountain goat deluxe. Thanks Gary. Trying to get this BOTM ready

Such a cool bike.
What year is it? Were these a mass market model BITD or more of a boutique range?

Thank you. It's a 1991. I don't know really. Did not have a real Italian bike dealer around me then. The Columbus Max OR tubing is pretty high end. I would think this needed to be near the top of what had to be a limited MTB offering in 1991.
