Rino was an Italian company.. I have a beautifully aero seatpost they made in the early 80s. They appeared at the new York bike show in 1980 and were actually giving complete gruppos at their cost to develop a following among afficionados. I guess they didn't succeed. But the components were beautifully polished and designed; can't speak for quality as I only bought the seatpost which was an alternate and equally beautiful as the Dura Ace AX post which had just been released.
