This is a 1985 Cinelli Supercorsa 58cm bicycle I restored and sold. I bought it from the original owner who had it in dry storage for many years. Columbus SP or SL tubing, Campagnolo Chorus group. I replaced the headset and seatpost with fresh-out-of-the-box NOS parts, since the original owner had non-Campy parts on it.
Serial number indicates it was the 61st frame of its type built in 1985. Vintage yellow Selle Italia Flite saddle. Rims are Campy Omega Strada XL hardox clinchers with Continental Duraskin tires. Stem and bars are Cinelli, and the bars are Giro D’Italia model. Original brake hoods too!
The bike does have some scratches in the paint and a small dent in the top tube, but is in great mechanical condition with no rust. Check out the pictures in the gallery below. I sold it to a guy down in New Orleans, Louisiana, so hopefully he’s enjoying it.
Nice bike. I don’t suppose it’s still on the market?
Hi. Saw your post and have a question if I may. You said the serial number indicates the 61 frame built in that year. Could you tell me how you established that. A friend is looking for the same info on her Cinelli. Thanks.

Hi,
Would you know which modern manufacturers of bottom brackets fit this era cinelli BB shell? I have a 1989 supercorsa which I want to build up with a modern group.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Peter, these era Cinelli BB shells are the common English-threaded type. You should be able to use most modern square-tape bottom brackets, as well as some outboard BBs as well.
