Close-up photos of the seat lug would be helpful (Windsor Pros were very similar, but not identical). Checking the serial number on the bottom of the BB shell might also help - not so much to establish age (a fool's errand with Cinelli numbers before 1980 or so) but to see if the format is correct. The clincher for me would be the seat post diameter. 26.2mm = Cinelli. Anything else = not Cinelli. 27.2mm = Windsor.
The Cinelli SC, Cinelli Model B and the Windsor Profesional are all good bikes, but a Windsor Pro is not a Cinelli. If you are looking for a good frame and the price is right, any of the three will do just fine. But if you are jonesing for a Cinelli, a Windsor Pro just won't do.
if one buys it, the paint I think really has to go, the shift bosses too as they do not appear aligned, I would ditch the BB cable noodles, I would keep the water bottle bosses, just me.
find better badge fasteners, restoring the badge is WORK. The [MENTION=46382]bikingshearer[/MENTION] question is, what to do with the Chrome?
