Does anyone out there have any experience with a Cinelli Starship frame? I recently bought one and built it up. FSA compact cranks (34-46), FSA bb, American Dream CR350 wheels and hubs, Campy Record deraileurs, Campy 13-27 10 spd cluster, CAT brakes, Ritchey WCS bar, Deda Blackstick post, Flight Carbon saddle. It feels a lot better than my Calfee! I would appreciate any related experiences with a Starship. Thanks.

I also own a Cinelli Starship frame. Built w/ Ksyirum rims Ultegra cranks, brakes, shifters, Carbon SLR seat Easton ec90 seat post, ITM The Stem, Deda 512 Handle Bar, 12-21 cassette, w/ a Dura Ace rear derailleur and Campy Record Pedals. Weighs in at 16.25 lbs including the pedals.
The Bike is really light and fast very responsive. I love the frame its forgiving when it needs to be and solid when you need it the most the frame is excellent for sprinting and climbing although I feel that against the wind its kinda too light and gets pushed around alittle :p
But you have to admit the frame is very attractive to the eye and I still don't stop getting compliments on it.
I admit at first I only bought it because of its looks but I am very happy w/ my decision. I now have over 3,000 miles of good experiences with the frame ;)

Nope but I have a Starlight in white:
Alas, it is now down to its frame and fork waiting for its owner to put it on ebay.
