So I'm browsing OfferUp and a guy is advertising "1970's Cinelli bicycles" with the pics below:



$125 and he'd meet me half way, about 45 minute drive for me.
Not being exactly sure what I was in for I figured I'd at least be able to make my money back.

Blue bike is an early - mid '80's Vitus 1st gen, full Dura Ace group except the seatpost.




And while that made my day, it was the gray bike that eventually stole the show.





I have been told that this is a 1972 Paramount. Campy crank, headset, seatpost; Cinelli stem and bars. Campy HF rear hub, D/A front.

Me happy.

Vitus is for milady, Paramount is for funding that and future efforts.
