I've seen this bike in a shop and have been told its a 2011 but I cant seem to find it anywhere? Its equiped with Campag. Can anyone help me? There asking £849 for it, is this good value? Is it a good bike?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That would have cost that new in 2011. You should be looking to get it cheaper than that!!!

    Should be cheaper. Here is a review:

    I use one of these as my winter machine. It's not the lightest but it's a good solid bike.

    I hired a Cinelli Experience on holiday a while ago. Really liked it, the new versions frame is excellent (just a shame it's got such a heavy fork).

    Since it's old stock I'd make them an offer.

    Looks like a 2010 model. Review of the 2011 model here

    Doing google images, it looks like a 2010 model. But both the 2010 and 11 models supposedly use Campagnolo Veloce as the groupset but from what I can see in that picture on my phone, that looks like pre 2009 shape levers.

    Now, there are some current bikes that come with older style Mirage/Xenon groups as OEM, but not at that price.

    And have you seen the pedals and the big-big gear selection!

    Something smells wrong...

    Don't think so, it was £999 in 2010 when I got mine

    It's a 2010, but like g00se says it's a bit off piste. Pedals are from god knows where, and the brakes are not the Veloce they should be. Wheels should be Khamsin not Fulcrum 7. Looks like an, er, one off....
