There have also been two or three of the blue ones on eBay over the years.
By the end of this month, I'll have a nice head-head comparison going of the 85 Equipe vs. the 89 Supercorsa, ride-wise.
They will have similar groupsets and similar wheels, so I should get some decent ride feedback.
I have a hunch what the results will be, but don't want to prejudge.
I can't imagine the blue or the grey/black models being that much different, if any.
Once I get the SC out of the way, and a certain sport-tourer makeover, I'd be ready for yours, if you still wanted.
You are correct, Robbie, my unpainted "mystery" frame has the Cinelli seat stay panto turned sideways to the ones on my silver Equipe. I never noticed this until you mentioned it. At least in my mind, this frame is one of the Centurion Cinelli Project frames. Head tube decal for the "project" bike is unique and still visible (decal outline) on my frame.
