My Period Correct Cinelli Project - Almost There!
My first vintage bike project - a period correct restoration of a 1972 Cinelli Special Corsa using only NOS parts.
After 18 months of finding the parts - with amazing assistance and expertise from members of this forum - and restoration of the frame the build is underway. Dan Hale of Shifter Bikes is on the tools with Andy White of Fyxo photographing the process (I live 700 miles away and can't be there to sit in the shop to see it all come to life)
The first sneak pics of the build posted to me by Andy - enjoy - you are seeing as much of it as I have so far:

He is the lucky one,
after 100's and 1000's of normal bikes to service he gets to do something really special.
I am sure he is enjoying every minute.
