Not to my knowledge, which is limited to one bike and looking at eBay auctions. My Cinelli is my summer bike, and I am not at its home now to check for certain.

I think it has four digit serial number, maybe something like 0501, but I'm old and can't say for sure. I'll check in a cou7ple of weeks when I see it again.

The danger signs for me are:

1) The seat cluster treatment
2) The quality of the work where the seat & chain stays attach to the rear drop outs
3) Lack of chrome
4) The decals
5) The geometry looks off, a bit too 'relaxed' upfront

Maybe a real Cinelli expert can chime in, this is the bike in question:

That being said, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Cinelli didn't sell lugs and tubing to a lesser builder to have bikes branded somewhere as 'Cinelli Export'. I've seen plenty of bikes with Cinelli BBs and Cinelli looking lugs, even Japanese bikes.

As old as I am, I would bet the farm that waytoomanybikes is correct on the date, possibly even later. You may be able to date it by the bottom bracket shell. What's the width and threading, for starters?

If it truly is an EL frame, you might have gotten a decent ride, no matter who really made it.

You would have been better off (IMHO) buying this http://cgi.ebay.com/CINELLI-SUPER-CO...QQcmdZViewItem
in the same size, for twice the money. A for sure real Cinelli, ready to ride, and spare parts to boot. If it were my size I would've grabbed it.
