I've wanted a Cellini since 1964. Chances are ..... SIGH!
So the answer to the question is 5 years. No quest or protracted was hunt involved. It sort of found me as I cruised through auctions. OK ... I've not built it yet, but I have collected all the parts. The size should be perfect. I love the color and graphics. The hand-braised, Reynolds 531C frame with a pinned BB should be sweet. Campy Record hubs on tubulars, a SunTour Cylcone drive-train and Nitto other stuff was assembled as part of a budget, otherwise I'd have pursued a contemporaneous group. A lot of these bikes were assembled in some flavour of Campagnolo. She is a GAZELLE AB, c. 1980.
