I disagree. Its real. But, the decals are an older set. Those are the proper cable guides from 1979, as well as the BB with the winged "C" and the lugs didn't have the hole cutouts after 1978. Maybe the fork had rust, and was fully painted, but it has the right profile.

Its a real Cinelli, just not as vintage as the decals portrait.

Huh, well its not an SC which I guess I should have specified, so what year and model do you think it is?

I don't claim to be an expert but I do know an SC has to have the iconic seatstay treatment which this one does not.

I don't think this is any Cinelli we normally concern ourselves with if it is one.

It has a vintage SC decal which aside from being very wrong is blatant fraud, even stupid IMO.
