That hand painted lettering looks to be a little older than 70's, maybe even 50's. Need more pics if you want more help.Originally Posted by defix
1950's? parts seem to be from around the 70's... however I don't know what the previous owner changed on the bike...here are some more pics

Most bikes get upgraded somewhere along the way. Just the same as you would put some newer bits on there if you're planning to ride it. 50 years from now someone is gonna think they've scored a turn of the millennium bike because it has Deep V's, an aerospoke and a broomstick handlebar :-D
Abodigital is right in suggesting its older. 50's is a good guess, maybe even a little earlier. And irrespective of what you've paid that Cinelli stem replete with badge is a great catch :wink:
Paid $0 for it, there were two more hanging up next to it but could only fit the one. Agree on the stem, was pretty happy when i saw that.Abodigital is right in suggesting its older. 50's is a good guess, maybe even a little earlier.
