Cinelli Genius Strada**********?







Another one of my pig and poke winter builds - this is the finally completed project from earlier posts trying to identify the frame. Several of us think we have identified this as a Cinelli Genius Strada. It hard to tell because the only identifiable marks are the dating and size marks conventions on the bottom which are inline with Cinelli frames.

Bought off ebay from Italy from not too good of pictures for $300. We knew it had had a frame repaint and new decals, but it arrived with every hole needing chasing because it was they were not taped off during painting and a seatpost in badly need of reaming aand a bent seatpost clamp. That being said the frame was beautiful - awesome brazing and lug work. We are also convinced it has chrome drop out painted over along with one of the stays.

It came out a pretty bike - and the ride is wonderful - it's my first oversized tubing bike. What ever it is it's mine after alot of work and touch up paint. It's also a true racing frame the largest tires it will accept are 23c.
