This bike is rather intriguing. I'm tempted to bid on it myself, but I'm wondering what others here think of it. The cranks are clearly later additions, unless this is some kind of late 70s model B. The head-lugs are similar to those I've seen on other Cinelli Bs but the dt/ht tangs on the lugs are unusual. The crown looks french...Nervex? Could the fork be a replacement, and the whole frame have been repainted? If it's original, it's rather unusual...

Buyer says he will ship to Germany only...but I suppose I could get around that if I were willing to pay sufficient shipping...
