Cinelli SLX frame vs. Bianchi cromor
Hi guys,
Now I'm about make a decision between these two bikes:
1st one: Cinelli Chrome SLX with Shimano 600/ultegra
RARE Cinelli Chrome Lugged Steel Italian Road Bike 59cm
vs.
2nd one: Bianchi Cromor single speed
Bianchi road bike (white) Columbus Foderi Cromor
Let's say both of them were offered at $1,000 CND
Which one would you choose, guys?
Thanks
Eric

First one isn't a Cinelli, it's a Cramerotti. The Bianchi is a mid-level bike, the Cramerotti is a better tube set and has better components.

Yes, I Know they are overpriced, but this is how things go these days in Vancouver.
Even crappy bikes are asking $500 on Craigslist and this is what we find ok deals for some decent bikes.

Don't even consider the Bianchi. Get the Cramerotti. A Bianchi Cromor steel single speeded bike is worth maybe 300.00 if you pay too much.

If you must pay the price, go for the Cramerotti. It is a complete bike and the Bianchi is of lesser quality and incomplete. My brother has an SL Cramerotti, loves it and has not experienced reliability issues.
