I'm trying to identify a Unicanitor saddle that came with the Olmo Special discussed some last month: http://ebay.com/

My question is this, there's a unicanitor alloy seatpost that I am sure is much newer and likely a replacement part in the 40+year lifetime of this bike. It has a cast head with big round red (plastic?) discs that are clamped between the old "english" style discs with a single long bolt (sorry if this description isn't the right lingo) anyone have any idea the vintage? The bike also has a sueded unicanitor saddle with "cinelli" printed on the back, so I suspect the post is ~ early 80's? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny thing is that I've been looking for one of those, which I suspect is 60s or 70s, for a long time. Also a "Satri Gallet," two-bolt, which was accessible from underneath -- but a weak design.
