Cinelli Pista, 5398, 5944







Description: "A Cinelli Pista frameset in size 56x56cm c2c. Probably an early 1960 as it still has the lugs without the 3-howls and the long fork tangs. The frame is build from Columbus steel. You find a C and the numbers 5398 on the bottom bracket. The left rear drop out is marked with 5944. The bottom bracket shell width is 65mm. Included is a 1970 Hatta Swan headset.

When this frame came to me, it already had lost its original paint. It is complete restoration including preparation against rust and a new paint. Color is a pearl dark brown with a light pearl silver and golden accentuated embossments."

I am curious about the number dropout. Did Cinelli stamp serial numbers on dropouts? And, what would explain the mis-matched numbers?

I invite you to contribute by sending in photographs of your Cinelli bike, illustrations, personal stories, and articles about Cinelli bikes and components.

Thanks for stopping by.
