Eight thousand up! Cinelli Ottomilainsu

[Obi-Juan]

After 2 months of fighting to bring this small machine to Spain, it has finally arrived
It was a crush at first sight although I had to wait to decide because I was in love with another Italian bicycle that ultimately couldn't be.
I really wanted the 2 bikes...polygamy? Well, maybe. In any case, after losing the Bianchi I did everything possible (and it was a lot of perseverance) to not lose this one too.

It really has very good paint and finishes.
The frame is Columbus EL and the assembly is a complete XT and everything works as if it were new. Of course it has been lucky
It's beautiful! I know everyone has their own tastes, but it's beautiful no matter how you look at it.
Of the rest of the pieces, I love the stem, a friend of mine calls it "Italian Atac" and it's true, Jjjj
The Cinelli grips, the Cinelli aluminum handlebar plugs (these are for the road, but it's a nice detail), the matching handlebars.

Well, for now it has come with an Araya RM 17 and a Mavic 230, so I will have to find a pair for one of them, preferably the European one
You also need a seat post and a saddle. Well, I'm already seeing solutions to that.

And really no more. There is little that can be done to improve this bike.

That is a very nice bike and loving that stem. The only thing Cinelli I have is this cool stem on an MB4 I recently picked up.

Well, I have some located, but they are in 36 holes.
Something will appear, it always happens

Lovely One mate, congrats !!!

 

[Obi-Juan]

Wow!
It's beautiful. And of course she is the older sister, she is the one from '86 if I'm not mistaken
I like the saddle. I found one similar, but it was prettier in the photo than in reality. Also on the back it says "velo"...well, that doesn't mean anything, countless famous brands are made in China, but I'm disappointed, I'll have to look for another option.

Well, I had an idea:
On a Koga Miyata Full Pro '85 I have a beautiful Cinelli Volare Slx saddle
I could change it and give the Koga an Iscaselle Giro d'Italia like the one with which Giovanetti won the 1990 Tour of Spain.

But while I was looking for Iscaselle another option appeared to me in a closet.
Well, the truth is I'm very sad about disassembling a completely original Koga Miyata (I love Kogas) so I started cleaning the other saddle option (it's white...)
