green cinelli mash framesets at iminusd Cinelli? REALLY?

Everyone I’ve spoken to that has seen Crook, my Cinelli MASH build, or has talked about liking the Cinelli MASH in general, has gravitated to the two-tone gray. Many have expressed distaste for the green/white variant (much the way people expressed distaste for Toro, the red/yellow variant of the Bianchi Veloce in 2000, when the celeste green was the main model) but I always defended it in that it was kind of ballsy and interesting and a nice green.

However.

These 2010s? That appears to be a very shiny, almost chromey looking green. I’m mortified. It looks like a tuned Honda.

I liked it in the lush semi-gloss from 09, or so I thought based on the Interbike photos…

    Eagle-eyed readers will note I now OWN this frame and it’s as beautiful as a newborn. It’s a see-it-in-person kind of thing…
