Cinelli 1973 SC, no. 2289

Georg's newly discovered 1973 Cinelli SC. Interestingly, it has the BB cutouts of the Brugelmann  "Leggerissimo" model;  this is the second one I've seen with the BB drilled pattern that is not in the yellow/red that distinguishes the Brugelmann Leggerissimo. The first is here, with the serial number of 2238 (note that it however does not have chromed lugs).  This blue CInelli was sold by Sport Altmann in Germany.

Photos of a Brugelmann Leggerissimo, for reference, here.

1973 Cinelli Pista

My thanks to Chris Norman who sent a photo of his beautiful 1973 Cinelli Pista. Chris writes, "A picture of my Cinelli as promised, year 1973, serial no. 2016. This bike was only raced a few times when new on the velodrome, then stored for 30 plus years. It is in as new and original condition, the only thing that as been done to it is the bar tape as been replaced to the same as the original, and the tires as being replaced as the tread pattern on the originals were coming unstuck from the tires."

It's comforting to know that gems that this can still be discovered, isn't it?
