cinelli with centerpulls?
https://cgi.ebay.com/Cinelli-Bike_W0Q...QQcmdZViewItem
Ive always associated centerpulls with mass produced(not nessecarily bad in anyway) french bikes, and while the bike does have campy, i cant really tell if its a cinelli, and the seller didnt really go out of there way to prove it. The little i can make out of the headbadge does look like a cinelli badge, to me atleast. What do you guys think?
Thanks

Looks Cinelli... but then Windor's do too. A frame number would help. Cranks look possibly replaced, prior to 1968, center pull brakes on a Cinelli were typical.
Has a Cinelli headbadge, not a great series of images. perhaps an "I'll sell it for you on ebay" type of seller.
If a non enthusiast seller, packaging for safe shipping is the key or the doom.

Centerpull brakes were very common on high-end bikes during the very late 1950s and the 1960s, until Campagnolo sidepulls became popular. Here is a picture of Austrian Tour de France veteran Adolph Christian, riding a you-know-what, in a European road race, circa 1960.

Those look to be Mafac "top 63". Considered by many to be the finest brake in its day. The French and the Japanese still use the center-pull brake and consider it the pinnacle of brake design. It is very logical and symmetrical and was dual-pivot before there was dual pivot!
