Cinelli? Small mystery frame









I saw this bike on the local cl and it was too interesting and strange not to check out. Of course when I saw it in person I couldn't help but pick it up. This is one of those bikes (for me anyways) that you can't help but smile at, and I love a good mystery bike.

So here it is: an 18 inch frame c-c with a 27" rear and 24" front wheel, a la georgena Terry. It has a Cinelli bottom bracket and campagnolo dropouts front and rear. I really love the long point lugs on the frame as well. The bike is outfitted with a mishmash of early 80s Shimano components, and has a 27.0 seatpost though I think it will actually fit a 27.2.

Anyone out there have a clue what this is? I'm thinking the frame may be Italian but i am not well versed in older Italian frames.
