That stem bar combo, internal cable routing and what are those grips, tortoise shell? Felt stuffed pedals to protect the bottom of your Italian leather soles?
Speechless.

They don't make bikes like that anymore! What a beauty. I can see the local town Mayor riding to the town hall of his little Italian village on that bike in the 50's.

The stem badge is neither original nor period-correct but does look nice. Generally speaking the stem badge would have been used to cover the recessed stem bolt. 
The rims have likewise been tastefully updated.
My personal guess is that this bike is from the the early 50's, perhaps 1952-53.

Truly delectable! I would have to say that this is one Italian bike even I would *love* to own. Perhaps I am not nearly as Anglo-centric as I, and others on this forum, thought.

Beautiful.
I hate the envy that wells up inside me, when showing bikes like this.
"Oh my, I should dedicate my life to getting one of those, then, I will be happy."

Dang, that's gotta be the ultimate Italian City Bike! Are those Campagnolo hubs labeled Cinelli? I've seen other makers, but not Cinelli labeled...

I don't know about you guys, but to me That bike is Art, stunning The stem internal cable routeing and all the other great features for me though for some reason that seat clamp really sticks out.
