About 10 yeas ago I answered an ad on Craigslist from a guy who was looking to trade a bike he had for a Cinelli Supercorsa. I didn't have a Cinelli Supercorsa but I was interested to see what he was offering up for trade and maybe I could just buy it off him.

It turned out his English was pretty poor and he in fact had 3 Cinelli Supercorsas and he was looking to sell!

I immediately met up with him at his storage unit and it was like entering Alladin's cave----he had owned a bike shop in the '70s and '80s and had a lot of bikes and many boxes of parts.

He showed me some Colnagos and a couple of French bikes and of course his Cinellis but he only had 2, so I asked where the third one was and he pulled out a box and it was a NOS silver one from 1985 that was still in the wrapping paper, never built up, never even had a wheel in the drops.

I bought it and a couple of other things, including an old Campagnolo workstand from the 1960s that is completely useless but is kind of neat to look at

I would have bought everything but I just didn't have the money at the time

I still haven't built it up, lol

Sorry about the photobucket, I can't find any other pictures of it right now
