Will do. I received additional photos before sending money, but nothing that merits posting. Plus, I don't want to jinx myself (which is why I didn't post anything earlier). But, I'll post photos and the full back story when she arrives.

Thanks much. Keep your fingers crossed. I count no chickens until they're safely in my hands, without bends, dents, or seized seat posts. But, it sure seems worth the gamble....

PS: a friend of mine is supposed to go and see the bike in person this weekend before the auction ends, but having spoken with the seller, I have my doubts about it being a Cinelli.

I had a similar thought but thought it could be the angle but we shall see

Heck, in my book this photo doesn't say "Cinelli" to me. Check out the stay end treatment:
Regarding the Craigslist purchase, I'm surely looking forward to pics and a report on that one

For a late 50's or 60's bike this type of stay end treatment is in no way impossible. I have seen a few that look like this (however all with eyelets). Remember that Cinelli was still using quite a bit of Reynolds tubing back then and Reynolds supplied preformed, pre-notched stays.

Yes, he claims to have measured. It might be a Cinelli, but it might just as likely be something else, and without seeing the bike or having it checked out thoroughly I am not willing to risk anything.

Hmmmm...maybe.
Thanks for the link - one of the coolest derailleur pics I've ever seen (stolen and added to my collection!)

I have some doubts about this bike. It has a 27.0 seatpost... The fork looks like it has been impacted... Plus the dropouts are missing the eyelets... Lastly, to get the steel bars to peel like that requires considerably abuse, so I am very leery about the inside of the frame. I am certainly not willing to put $1000 on the line with that much doubt.
PS: a friend of mine is supposed to go and see the bike in person this weekend before the auction ends, but having spoken with the seller, I have my doubts about it being a Cinelli.

On any of these old soldier bikes the components to me are always suspect to indicate much, too easy to exchange.
Be good to see head badge mount holes.
I imagine it will get some interest that results in a bid or two.
Bigger than I would consider. And the cost to refurbish is not insignificant.

Just this weekend I got a line on a '74 rose cinelli from the original owners basement... for a moment I thought he might have put it up without telling me and I was going to have a little heartbreak, But it not the same size, so hopefully I'm not jinxing myself and can make a deal for my own rose cinelli, gotta be honest though, it might take a little while.
Congrats bibliobob! Sounds like a fine pickup

Resurrecting this Zombie Thread with New Photos
I haven't posted here in a long time, but figured that I'd share some photos of my most recent build. The rose Cinelli that i posted here ended up being too small for me, and i sold it to a CR list member. But, i ended up picking this up, and finally rebuilt it. Just got it out for it's first real shakedown ride yesterday.. She's a keeper, for sure...
cheers,
Bob
cheers,
Bob
