A list member recently purchased an unusual Cinelli...thought to be "CX" model.
>From Cinelli I received this (they looked at the photos):

"Hi Angel,

I spoke to a few of my colleagues this morning and came to the conclusion with them that this frame is almost certainly a fake or unofficial Cinelli. We never used that lugset, but even more telling is the top tube with its \u201cmaster\u201d style shaping which is a give away that the tube is in fact not even Columbus but an Oria tube shaped by Silva. It is the tubing which makes us almost certain that this frame while certainly not a production model, is not even a prototype."

Hilary Stone has referenced the "CX" as well and I wonder if he has any info about what he had heard about a "CX"?
