Cinelli

[Gtpulse]

Reasonably early looking at the cottered cranks? Don’t know a lot about these but it does look like it actually is a Cinelli?

I don’t know, but the fact the stem is not cinelli makes me ask a question at least. I’d have thought that given the apparent age it would also be cinelli made not itm. However that’s obviously far from definitive for all kinds of reasons!

I was looking at the lugs, bolt at the top of the seat stays, also the head badge and rivet locations. All match up to it being what it is badge as. Kind of ironic it doesn’t have a Cinelli stem!

Ja. I was just looking at seatpost clamps and they do look right. Looks like the nut/bolt might have been replaced with something a bit more agricultural? So I guess maybe it’s been built up from a frame with bits and bobs. I’m not an expert by any means, but that might also be why the brake levers are Weinmann rather than campagnolo? Did they use Weinmann?

The age of that frame could have been built up with just about anything. I might be wrong but suspect it predates the fashion for groupsets/all one brand on a bike.
