Not sure what the heck this thing is:
Cinelli Willin Bicycle Black M Carbon Aerospoke Wheels 700c Road Bike

A geared cinelli that has been converted to FG?

Looks like a roadie frameset circa 2008-ish that was built up at some point as FG:

The rockin' new Willin' frame gets its name from the song by 1970's rock band, Little Feet, and promises to deliver an equally powerful kick with its Columbus SL unidirectional carbon fiber and semi-monocoque construction . The frame is only available in four sizes, but wears a more aggressively compact geometry (the top tube slopes between 8-14°) that Cinelli hopes will fit a wide range of rider measurements, as well as capabilities and budgets. Morganti noted that entry-level customers can choose a more affordable selection of componentry to ease the cost of entry of their first Cinelli, while more experienced and well-heeled riders could take the best the industry has to offer and walk away with a competitive machine.

So on something like that, you would need to run a chain tensioner correct? I am pretty sure that in one of the pictures, you can see the derailleur hanger.

I didn't know that "Little Feet" (it's "Feat" actually) delivered "powerful kicks"...

Is this for real? Looks like nothing more than a basic $200 fixie.

So, I was supposed to pick this bike up, and the guy just stopped communicating. Turns out mi Chica called him, and picked it up for me, for Xmas. She couldn't wait, and finally spilled the beans today. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to touch/see it till Xmas....

Yeah I can't wait to "unwrap" it, haha..

Those fenders are useless. Is this just some sort of fashion marketing type thing, like when VW puts their name on a guitar, or a bike?

The "description" sounds like a 5 year old caveman wrote it.

Not a great-looking bike in its current form, but I think it has potential to be an interesting rain/commuter bike.

$200 Cinellis seems too good to be true. Stolen maybe?

"Currently taking offers Want to trade all for 1 bike Road/Track 52cm"
The $200 is just to lure people to click his ad
