Not too sure of the year but I'm guessing late 70's possibly early 80's. Was my birthday present two years ago and was a total cluster of parts and turn it to a full NR group minus the SR seatpost.
1980 Cinelli Super Corsa with full SR group minus the American Classic seatpost.

The bike actually fell in the lake twice while I was photographing.
Here are some close-up's:
The fork crown is one of the more distinctive features of the frame.
Very well-done lugwork.
Gipiemme coke-spoon shifters, Stronglight A-9 headset
Galli KL derailleurs, Campy SR cranks, Miche pedals
Seat lug area. Pantographed Campy SR post
BB area. MA40 rims, Miche Competizione hubs, Kenda 700x23 tires.
Cinelli bars & stem, Modolo Speedy brakes.

Approx 1960 Torpado. Original but for seat (and I have that) and headset.
Mid - sixties Frejus (I do have to rotate those bars a bit!)
No works of art, these, but nice bikes.
