I heard that there were detailed BF discussions but have no idea how to search these forums to find those discussions. I have been in contact with a few people involved but mostly to do with the Equipe. I think everyone had a little different take on what was and was not a true Cinelli. It all seems a little funny when you consider many of the top Italian frame builders, Cinelli included, used contract houses to fill orders. Are these contract frames any less a Cinelli? I guess not so long as they are sold through Cinelli. All pretty mysterious, even a little silly when you think about it.
