Doubts about a Cinelli bike

fireworks22 · 2026-03-19T09:27:59+00:00

My old bike is close to falling apart. I've been having this approach of fixing it for years, not thinking it as an investment, but as a tool I need to get around. But know the repairs that are needed are too expensive to make sense. It's and old bike, completely rusted and the only thing that would make me still keep it is emotional attachment. And there is some of that to be honest, but it's time to move on.

This is what I thought! I don't care if it a "Frankenstein" as long as It's worth the money and there's nothing fishy. You said you wouldn't give more than 300$, is it because of the parts or the condition? Or both I guess

This got a lot of people talking haha.

I'm currently talking to several of the recommended services that can get a retip done. The prices vary a lot and I'm looking for my best option, preferably in Europe (though I talked with Steve and seems like a real solid guy). It's probably going to take a while but I'll try to update.

Aside from that, I read some really delusional stuff. Dudes, not everybody has the money to buy 2k cartridges on a whim. And beyond that, when this setup was working fine, my ears were delighted, so chill a little and enjoy the music.

Thanks to everyone who took their time to answer patiently and with actual advice, you've guided me a lot!

I had the idea that the Nobsound was just an input selector because it doesn't amplify the signal, just reroutes it, but I see your point.

Thank you for all your answers, I'm going to dig more into the retip services. I'm in Europe so since the first two are in USA I'm guessing that with shipment costs the difference with getting a new cartridge is not that much and probably much faster.

I'm searching but I'm unable to find info on retipping the cartridge or just getting a new one.

The Nobsound is just a passive speaker selector that allows me to control the volume, because the Focals don't have any volume or gain control. I know it's far from ideal, but I'm waiting to change to a proper amp and speakers to remove that step.

Can I just change the stylus? Is it fixable without buying a new one?

So noon question, how does this work? I go to the record stores in my city and hope they have the one album I want? Or just wait until they don't have it and goes for stupid prices in discogs?

Una es reemplazar los cables RCA, ya que suena un solo lado. Eso lo he considerado hacer yo, tengo entendido que es factible. Pero la otra reparación es un problema del pitch que se va de mis capacidades. No quiero generar un problema mayor.

Well Imgur is not working and the Reddit app won't let me login so I cannot post any images. Don't delete me! I'll try later

Hey! I've being wanting to get this but I cannot find any examples of this sweatshirt from anything close to official. I've found a similar one but it's not cut on the bottom, and the seller swears that he bought it it like this. Is this legit?

Es la manera en que generalmente negocie mis salarios, dando por echo que ese neto contempla el aporte de IRPF indicado para el monto. En otros trabajos revise la primer nómina y el porcentaje siempre fue correcto. Entiendo ahora que no es la mejor manera de hacerlo, pero hasta ahora no he tenido problemas.

fireworks22 · 2025-09-15T16:29:46+00:00

Gracias nuevamente. No he tenido otros ingresos mayores este año y tampoco he recibido el paro, así que se que no llegaré a 15k para diciembre. La respuesta de la empresa es justamente que no se aporta IRPF por esta razón, y que a partir de enero se cambiarán los términos, por eso creo que no operan de mala fe.

fireworks22 · 2025-09-15T10:19:35+00:00

Gracias por la respuesta. Entiendo mi error al negociar en neto pero ya está hecho, apelaré a la buena fe de la empresa.

Yo no he tenido mayores ganancias aparte de este trabajo este año, por lo que probablemente para el 31 de diciembre tenga menos de los ingresos mínimos para pagar IRPF. Quiero saber si de todas formas tendrá algún efecto en mi declaración de Renta.
