I think by 1980, all Cinelli 1R stems were coming with the flying C logo. But those older 1R buttons are cool. Also, Scott didn't elaborate on the stem issue, but Bianchi did not use Cinelli bars/stems. Scott's Super Leggera originally would have come with a pantographed 3ttt Record 78 stem, 3ttt SuperLeggero bar wrapped in Almarc leather, panto'd NR brake levers, pant'd SR chainring, pant'd shifters, panto'd NR seatpost.
