You all are gonna love this!
From the 1960 Ron Kitching Everything Cycling. Really outstanding Cinelli section with boys and girls bikes "3 sizes - suitable for all ages." plus the Model Corsa (commonly called the Mod B), Super Corsa and Model Pista.
Here's the answer to the tubing question: "Cinelli SUPER CORSA FRAME TUBING: Triangle tubes in REYNOLDS 531 double butted, with forks and rear stays in COLUMBUS double butted."
(Clearly in error is the statement about the forks and rear stays being double butted.)
"Replica of the machines used by the Italian professional road aces. Only the finest Italian components are used and no attempt has been made to sacrifice quality for price consideration. Veritably a machine for the connoisseur."
