The AcerMex bikes also show up branded "Carabella" or something like that.

As to the Cinelli connection, just an imitative tip of the hat and marketing ploy in my opinion.

New info is coming in continually surrounding the mystery of Acer-Mex Cinelli clones, and I just got a posting today including a pic of what may have been a "house brand" bike called Raysport. Here's a link that I hope works: http://www.bikeforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=19396 This clearly shows a very Cinelli-like fully sloping chromed fork crown, and a couple oddities like Reynolds 531 and vertical Campy dropouts! This poster says he has seen another similar Mexican product, same features, but decalled "Fraysee". So a full sloping crown Windsor Pro is definitely possible, tho it would be a more rare one and probably a later production (say post '74). Thanks for your posting.
