I have some American Repair Stand rollers from the early 70's that are really nice quality with a heavy chromed steel frame that I still use. The frames on the Cinelli's were very flimsy, and yes that "howl" they make at speed was pretty annoying. I'll stand by my opinion that they were not up to a Cinelli quality product.
