Sometime back in the mid-80's, Cinelli built a limited edition of bikes that were intended as a re-issue (at least cosmetically) of a series of bikes that were built for the '64 Tokyo Olympics. I believe they were built to modern (1980's-ish) geometry, but were finished in the original Olympic model color and had the old-logo decals. I don't know how many were made. I always liked them a bit more than standard supercorsa's of the same period. The ones I saw at various shops were all super record equipped, with leather-wrapped bars & matching saddle.
