Stem angle fans:
Of the two track angles: the 64 degree angle was called "Pista" and the 58 degree angle is called "Sprint".
As mentioned, the 1/A road stem was 72 degrees. The 1/R angle is slightly steeper, must be 73 or 74 degrees.
I have a 14cm sprint stem on my recently-put-together beater track bike, together with a set of those cool steel bars and a drilled Unica saddle. The stem is not marked Cinelli anywhere. In the spot where the badge or mark would normally appear, there is a tri-color "made in italy" decal that is flaking off. I am informed that such a stem might have been used on a Paramount -- as someone else mentioned.
My well-used and dented pista frame has flat full-wrap stays and a rough black repaint (headset was sprayed along with frame) and it is one wicked lookin' muh-SHEEN!
Together with the hefty steel bars and clincher tires, this 59cm c-c bike with 1 front brake weighs 23lb -- more than my 60cm De Rosa roadbike.
