Cinelli Golden Black Handelbar, Stem, Water Bottle Holder, Saddle

Spotted on ebay with these comments: "Incredible Cinelli Golden Black handlebar stem combo with 18 karat gold accents, down to even the binder bolt. I am unsure of what is solid vs. gold plated. Beautifully textured leather wrapped and stitched handlebar. Bars and stem were mounted on a Golden Black show bike."

We have photos of such a "Golden Black" (1987) Cinelli here.
