I bought this 1973ish Cinelli Speciale Corsa in 2013 but really never had time for it until covid

It was ridden daily as a commuter by an elderly gentleman but had been "leaning against a shed in Sudbury, Ontario for many years" according to the seller, his son. You can see the remnants of a set of fenders as well as a kickstand(!) and lots of reflective tape.

Eagle-eyed Torontonians may recognize the blue Bloor Cycle shop sticker on the downtube, they were a great shop back in the day and everything was well-greased and nothing was seized except the saddle clamp on the seatpost.

The brake hood is a re-production campy hood and ripped when I was putting on the bartape. Any recommendations for a good set of reproductions?

The stem is super fugly but the frame is too big for me and this was the shortest stem I had on hand. Same with the pedals, they will be sorted out soon.

Wheels are these black Phil Wood hubs that are 130mm but oddly take a threaded freewheel (?) laced to Mavic Open Sports that I found on CL

I am kind of enjoying it for cruising, I am going for a French fit gravel-grinder kind of thing

I wil to try to get some old Honjo fenders on there but I may have to change the tires out from 32s to 28s (I love the green with the gold, anyone know of a 28mm green gumwall tire, I don't think Panaracer makes GKs that thin)
