I'd be glad to contribute to a Cinelli Super Corsa database. I'm just about to start building up my early '60s SC after having it painted and I'd love to know the exact year.

It belonged to a former Scottish track champion (he did a bit of road racing, too) and he said he was using it in about 1960/61.

The last discussion I had about dating Cinellis with someone on the list, whose name and email address I've since lost, ended up being a bit confusing. From available serial numbers, it seemed my bike could have been a mid-1970s model but the actual design of the frame and its history clearly make it much earlier.

A database would be a very worthwhile project but I've a feeling it's likely to be very complicated.

Cheers,
Bruce
