help to identify this frame

[gjores]

Hi
I bought a complete bike a year ago
It was fitted with campag and cinelli bits
a friend suggested he would strip the bike and sell the pieces 50/50
he could not take the frame
in hind sight it might have been a bad move
can anyone give me any idea on this frame

thanks gary

I guess the 85 on the BB might mean 1985, looks like that era. Neat frame Any other markings on it?

Well its a French bottom bracket. Other than that I dunno but I'll go with the mid 80s from the forks,

I always thought Cinelli were Italian.

I always thought Cinelli were Italian.

Maybe they forged the France on the bottom bracket in both senses of the word,

Just found this out
Cinelli S.C. France stands for
Cinelli BB for french sized (metric!) tubing. Threads are lefthand on the right, righthand on the left. Sometimes this is refered to as Swiss.
Also the frame has campagnolo dropouts
