Hi CR list

Someone please find Matteo a Cinelli track bike in 56cm. Someone who has one but doesn't ride it regularly (no fun, can't coast). Could be silver, but yellow (with lots of paint blems but awesome decal condition) should make him happy.

Now if Matteo really wants it bad enough, he would somehow, somewhere, find that Cinelli track bike owner a Rene Herse track bike (Herse was no track bike expert, the Cinelli is much better) to trade. Of course the Herse is worth a bunch more, so Matteo would wind up with both the Cinelli and a bunch of Euros.

Now an Herse track bike is really hard to come up with - especially for someone located in the amazing city of Firenze. So maybe something from Milan (a very fun drive on the Autostrada from Firenze) would work. I'm thinking something from Galmozzi or Masi from the 50's. Of course, such items are worth more than an ugly Cinelli track frame, so again, both the Cinelli and Euro's would trade hands.

But I'm really wondering why someone who can find wonderful bikes in his own country needs to get one from the US? Was something smuggled in a certain Cinelli that I should know about? What is hidden in the seatstays? The forkblades? Hmmmm....should I cut the frame apart? I'm curious. Aren't there some nice Cinelli frames in Italy? (I understand most were exported - good for the US collectors).

If I can't help Matteo, can someone else please get him the fix he needs?
