Serial number stamped on the bottom bracket shell is 5319. Cinelli serial numbers tend to jump around a lot and can be confusing.
This story courtesy of CINELLI (Gruppo S.r.l.)A Confused SupercorsaLast week an artist friend of ours wrote in with some photos of Cinelli track frame he had bought from Keirin Berlin on a recent trip. He wrote because several irregularities in the frame’s production (mostly the English threading of the bottom bracket shell) had caused him to wonder whether the frame was not actually a Supercorsa Pista but perhaps some export-only variant (such as the later Olympic and “Superpista” models).There are in fact several “irregularities” in this frame which was produced in 1983, but they are full of character (at least in our eyes) and tell a shrouded, vague but fascinating story about a unique period in the history of Cinelli. In 1979 Antonio Colombo, having recently separated the bicycle specific tube manufacture Columbus – his brainchild – from the his family’s core A.L. Colombo steelery business, entered as a shareholder in the Cinelli company. I remember Antonio visiting us, maybe 2 years ago, he looked at the frame, but didn´t really bother checking it out more. He was more interested in our chairs, that were made out of Columbus tubing as well. Hey Lodo, you´ve seen that frame too:)We had that bike forever on our site and the guy actually got a way to good of a deal:)We found the bike at the same time we got the tandem,found it in former East-Germany, they were happy to get rid of the old steel frames, so they can buy some new stuff for the kids.
Ck2 crash loading databases. The tandem was a bike used by the East-German National team, so was the SC probably too. We do collect a lot of bikes, but you can not collect everything, it is always hard to part with a bike that´s been to our shop for a while, but at least the Supercorsa went back to bella Italia.
Ride Safe!Here is actual an update of the 'new' bike, very good Matteo.http://www.keirinberlin.de/2010/12/02/a-confused-cinelli-part-2Enjoy! Mbd history guide for class 12 free.
