Just thought some of ye might find this interesting. Kind of like the Kinesis one myself, but don't get the blue chain on the cinelli

Yeah, its a racing frame and then they put this hipster stuff on it.

Cinelli's bootleg looks good for a street bike. Tragic choice of bar tape though.

Bootleg is a unique bicycle. You cannot buy it only with money; you must be also well aware of what you are buying. Bootleg is the top race bicycle. It is not everyman's bicycle; it cannot be mass-produced and sold in large quantities. Bootleg is a ghost bicycle, just like certain airplanes, which are invisible to radars. It is a pirate bicycle, like certain ships, recordings or flags. The black bicycle. The black sheep of the cycle market, a bête noire for competitors, something to be found on the black market at an unknown, yet steadily increasing price. Bootleg bikes are distributed on a limited scale.

Well you can't buy it only with money There are some good brand descriptions up there on Wiggle (IIRC a few other Italian brands are guilty of similar) but this one really stuck in my head.

can you pay in spoke cards?

The Kinesis looks great but half-bar tape is just daft for a bike to be riding outdoors - one of my bug-bears of fixie hipster chic

Like colourdy chains though

I want that black Cinelli. Yes, with the bar tape too.
