$2000 would be the absolute floor for this beauty in one of the nicest biking meccas (with '4 season weather') west of the Mediterranean bordering countries. A classic vintage rider, not so perfect a collector would put it on a wall, but ....a rider. Cinelli. 'California cool' status points as a C&V dude. A join the Cinelli club kinda thing. And only $2500; less than a month's property tax for most.

I'd sell the Campy barends to offset a high price paid.

I'm going to wait for some others to chime in first...because I don't feel like I have a sense on how the chroming impacts things. I'm also not as good at dating Cinellis as some others here...I believe this looks around 74ish. If no one offers better advice than I can, I'll throw out my opinion.
The bike was ordered chromed in the 60's "Directly from Mr Cinelli" . "The Itallian chrome did not hold up very well".

Thank you all for chiming in. We are just exploring at this time. He just wants the bike to be ridden. and thanks for all the input.
I will also be posting a bontrager MTB from the same gentleman, on this site as well. All campy. Has a Rock Shock added, but the original fork is included.

Thank you
