Some interest recently generated by Angel Garcia's posting that spoke of a "special lightweight" Cinelli with a drilled / milled bottom bracket led me to go back to the registry - where had I seen that before? Comments on one of the bikes (belonging to a list member) said "milled bottom bracket" - so I wrote to the owner, who replied back that HIS Cinelli had no such milling.
So, there's an error in the Registry - horrors! Who has a Cinelli with milling or drilling under the BB? Any speculation on why this modification was done to just a few frames? A frame recently sold by Richard Sachs also features BB milling. It does not look like aftermarket work. Was there in fact a "lightweight" model as Mr. Garcia describes ? I remember no such thing, but it was before my time.
If your Cinelli has holes in the BB, please email me so I can correct the Registry...
