"Someone has again copied my eBay listing for the Cinelli I sold about a month ago. I pulled the pictures a week or so ago, but the scammer must

have copied them before I pulled them."

Great, is this a new barometer of "value" in classic lightweights? Not lugwork, geometry, componentry or mojo quotient but how many eBay scammers

it attracts?? Cinelli, the designated cycle for the Nigerian National Cycl e Squad.

I've enjoyed my '73 Cinelli SC, bought on eBay even, immensely since I got

her almost exactly a year ago. I don't know if I should be pleased or miffed the auction wasn't recyled five times. Maybe if I paid more?

Anyway, I concede. Raleigh Pros and Peugeot PX-10s are not worth a plug nickel by this new standard. But maybe those $178 (and counting) TA waterbottle cages are.
