Keep the Hope Alive Cinelli
I was second in line for this Cinelli and had almost given up hope when my phone rang! 2004 i think, a few paint chips but otherwise very nice shape.

Very nice. I would've haggled $20 off because of that saddle. Interesting that they were still chroming the stays in 2004, or was a technique developed that isn't horrible for the environment?

Ace was a fixture in Vancouver for decades, and sponsored many rides and riders, including my cousin. I have a Danish SCO that was retailed there in 1972. Ace died a few years ago and his inventory was sold off to various collectors. BTW Garry, let me know if you want to move that unit south to my garage in Duncan.
