Clapton's Cinelli and Jordans Merckx

[enr1co]

The red cinelli for sale in the classifieds reminded me of a cool pic I saw years back of Eric Clapton taking delivery of one at the Cinelli factory.

Googled it and found this link from Everybody Bikes in SF with two other great looking rides:

"Hey Michael, what's your handlebar drop?"

"Oh, about a foot and a half."

Funny, I recall a pic of Clapton getting his bike and it was red, not blue.

I also remember the red one from this pic but the photos of the blue one are much better qual.

Would love to hook up with Clapton and Wiggins to talk guitar and bike story.:)

I used to see so many of those come into the shop to be framed... at least half of them actually went through with it because of sticker shock (massive prints can't be framed inexpensively).

The fork crown on that cinelli. :hello:

Michae Jordan is 6'6", that bike looks too big?

BikeForums has a celebrity bike list somewhere, but I recently saw this on LAfixed and thought it was hillarious.
