  there's a spoiler/fairing on the bb covering the cable exits.

  There's a misconception amongst the lesser informed that this makes the frame a Cinelli by default.

  It's not a road bike is it? Fat tires are fine on a canti build. Quite like the colour/material combinations on this. Looks like something I could have built myself tbh.

  Skinwall (yellow hue) works really well with the pink (to which it is a complementary colour).

  Doesn't belong in anti imo. Maybe it's trying too hard but it's no dysfunctional wank.

  Could still bea genuine Cinelli, they did more steel frames than the supercorsa of course.

  It's a tidy build, not really high end but 105 works fine (just replace the brake pads!)

  Good selection! All those straight tubes will complement the frame nicely.
