The decoding of vintage Cinelli serial numbers is a pursuit that has fascinated, then humbled the best of us. Like the Golden Fleece, Cleopatra's Tomb and the Ark of the Covenant, the Rosetta Stone of Cinelli serial numbers has yet to be found, though not from lack of searching. Some believe that world peace, freedom from hunger and health care for all will be achieved when the solution is found. There's a wing in the local nut house occupied by demented old bikies who spend their miserable lives wearing out pencils by the gross, using up paper by the ream, consulting arcane texts, trying to work out the secret of Cinelli serial numbers.
