After much consideration, deliberation and admiration, I have come to the conclusion that your Cinelli is spectacular. Wow, what a great bike. I can see why you are considering the green panels and, I think, that course of action would go some way to making it your own. I'm in favour.
There is another thread asking about 'grail' bikes - I haven't been able to contribute but a Cinelli of this vintage was always on my mind as an answer to that thread. Thanks for posting.
