My polished TB14’s weighed an actual 505gm on a digital scale, so slightly heavier then spec’d, and I would never describe these wheels as “heavy”, just not quite as light as the narrower Open Pros that preceded them. They are lovely rims that I frequently recommend, and have remained true for over 6000 miles so far. Because of their double eyelets and perceived strength, I’ve moved them over to the bike that will be the travel bike with front bag and panniers.

Very nice!
I would of course lose sleep over the cranks. But I am not normal. I do expect the guys in shiny white coats to arrive at any time now.

Yes it bothers me too. I have the Record cranks for the group but it has 52-42 rings. I wanted a 39 tooth and was too excited for the build to switch the rings over. It is on the project list though!

Hey John. I'm sure with many things date is either off some or rolled over. That's why I initially said about 83'. I missed that you said yours had it in 84'! I don't think I have seen that one.
Either way I like about all Cinelli. My "modernish" dream road bike would be a Starship. Hint, hint. Anyone out there? 58-60cm please. Their newer track stuff is cool too.

Just curios, what is the final build weight on the Cinelli?

Nice bike you ended up with. I hope the bar change brings about a better riding position.

Blue wasn't a color I like for bikes too,......till I saw and bought this some months ago.....
Now I'm in love with blue bikes!
I'm really enjoying this thread as the subject bike is so similar to my 88/89 Montello in many ways.....

Ahh yes, gorgeous, I thought of yours when I got the frame!
[MENTION=426321]Chombi1[/MENTION] - the bike weighs 22.7 lbs, frame/fork/headset weight is 6.25 lbs. That Pinarello is sweet. I've mentioned elsewhere that I'm a sucker for a chrome rear triangle.
Regarding blue bikes: there is a blue bike thread around here somewhere and a couple of years ago I put my Tommasini in it with its blue to white fade as my only blue bike. Now, without color ever really being a factor in a purchase decision, I have (ahem) a few blue bikes.

I usually do not like it when people quote posts including the pictures. It just takes up space and makes scrolling boring.

Sometimes, it's just the build. Each bike has a personality.

I’m not quite sure yet, although the advantage of the 8 speed cassette and 130 spacing is I can use a more modern wheel set. I have Reynolds Solitude and DT Swiss/Velocity sets in the closet which weigh less than than the rear wheel of the current set but they wouldn’t look right on this build.

I’d thought about the Omegas. Good to hear a positive review.

I found a set of Campy Shamals locally, got all excited for Hugh, (tubular, 8s Campy) and then saw "650c" in the description.
Bummer.
Now I wonder what was running 650c back then that would have been Campy-oriented....?
