Well UPS delivered my Cinelli today and it is nothing short of gorgeous! The bike shop in Moab Utah (Dreamride) did a beautiful job of packing. At a quick glance I believe that this bike has hardly been ridden and is possibly totally original down to the tires. By the way the tires are "Panaracer Tour Guard 280". Can anyone date these? The seat tube shows no signs of rust until one gets towards the BB and there it is only light surface. The pedals are unmarked as are the Christophe toe clips and Binda straps. I never did ask the guy about the rims and they have turned out to be Nisi. The decals are somewhat tatty - does anyone know of a source for Nisi decals? There are very light break marks on the rear rim so I know that someone actually did ride the bike. Paint on the bike is excellent with minor storage scuffs from storage. The gum hoods are dry and cracked -- any suggestions?

I am going to start the cleaning process -- cannot wait - should be working (I am an artist) but I think today calls for a day off!
