There was a time I would have been very hard pressed to pick one above the rest. Now I have no trouble saying I'd keep this one. ~1965 Cinelli Speciale Corsa (with a ~1960 Cinelli SC fork - too long a story to tell here). It is simply the best riding bike I have ever been on, and I've been fortunate to have some truly top-drawer bikes. There is a subtle but noticeable snap, a springiness, a feeling of being alive, that is unlike any bike I have ever been on, and I really like it. I thought long and hard before trading a 1986 De Rosa for this Cinelli, and I would not easily part with the Eisentraut or the Ron Cooper (or the Paramount, which is now my commuter), but if forced to pick one, the Cinelli stays and I mournfully part with the others.

And yes, I have corrected the too-short rear brake cable and the too-short chain. It also now has ratty red bar tape instead of grungy white bar tape.
