Thanks, I've been looking for one for a while. I've seen them hyped up on the internet, and finally got one in person for a decent price. It'll definitely add some 'fixie points' to the build. Yesterday after I brought it home, I looked it up on Cinelli's website. The giant holes are showing off the fancy CNC machining they did to the stem. Pretty high tech back then. Also, 'pin up girl' stickers were available for the stems to cover all that empty space, pictured at bottom left. There's a pretty hot one of Pamela Anderson that Mario Cipolini famously used.
