Ever heard of a Chiementin race bike?!
Anybody ever heard of a GS Chiementin team bike or simply a Chiementin ? The seller knows nothing about it (says he aquired it at a swap meet). It's complete Campy Nuovo, Cinelli vented bottom bracket shell, Campy dropouts and Columbus SL. "Chiementin" is stamped on the seat stays. "CA" initials on the fork crown. Nice looking frame that has been repainted with no decals. He wants $350.
I suspect it's some Italian team bike (GS Chiementin) from the early 70's....but know nothing more.
Any help?
Thanx!

I went with my friend earlier this evening and bought this bike. It is exactly as you described. My friend paid $300 it. Beautiful bike. Under the paint it says "Mantovani". Doesn't anyone know anything about this frame?
Thanks.
Thanks.
