wasting time I should be using to do something productive, I found this on ebay just now:
Surely this did not originate with cinelli? It's some kind of asian knock-off, right? I never saw a Cinelli badge that looked like this. except the badge-decal itself. the metal headbadges never looked like this, right?
The seller's description leaves the clear impression that this came out of the Cinelli operation. Too bad. Why lie about it? It's a cool knock-off. Although you'd never put it on a correct restoration I suppose.
I wonder if Cinelli approved these. I hear all the big italian marques are coming down hard on copyright violators. Kucharik quit making clothing with the old logos on them for exactly that reason.
Then again, maybe I missed the memo and this really is some kind of legit item..
