Kind of a dumb question about my Cilo frame

[destroying.angel]

I have a late-80s Cilo, which is a Swiss racing bike. I recently brought it up out of the basement, put new tires on it and started riding it again -- I had forgotten how fun cycling could be! I was actually going to sell it and get something newer, but after talking to a couple of knowledgable people who had nothing but respect for its awesomeness, I've decided to keep it.

So here's the dumb question: How do I figure out which frame I have? I've poked around a little online and found some posts about the various models. I know mine is steel and has Shimano 600 components. Is there an identifying mark somewhere that I can easily find?

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment on this.

You could go to bikeforum.net and post your question there.. There are allot of knowledgeable people there. Granted late 80's isn't vintage, I bet there is someone in the vintage forum who could help.
Good luck,

Set up a saved search on ebay. You can often glean information from people's listings and photos.

see if there is a forum related to your frame manufacturer. I stumbled upon the Gitane forum, and, I swear, those guys know the make of the bolts used to hold the specific-year crankset rings...

I'll try all those things. There was no such thing as this here internet when I bought that bike, and I didn't know there was such a little Cilo cult going. Apparently it has a pedigree to be proud of . . .

Another possibility would be to see if there is an online resource linking your make/serial number to a specific model. Here (http://www.utexas.edu/parking/transportation/biking/find_serial.html) is a resource showing where to look on most bikes for a serial number.
