Cinelli VIP Black Leather Bidon (water bottle) Cover NEW Extremely RARE

  

NEW Cinelli VIP Smooth black leather Bidon (water bottle) zip up cover as famously used in some form by Eddy Merckx to keep his water cool. This is EXTREMELY RARE, especially new in the package, I removed from the package to photograph and place on my 1984 Ciocc Designer 84's "bidon" to show the cover's function.

When have you seen another one? Part of the Cinelli VIP set that included handle bars with covering, bidon cover, saddle, spare tubular bag, and even matching leather gloves! I have in another listing the companion NEW VIP spare tubular bag in water buffalo black leather. This is rarer than the vinyl version they also produced.

For the vintage bicyclist "who has everything". This is expensive due to its rarity.

Thanks for looking, I will be listing other interesting vintage parts in the next few days.
