Does anybody know the whole story behind the various names that appeared on Cinelli marketed toe straps?
Are all Binda straps stamped with an unpainted "Bianchi Dino" and a painted Alfredo Binda?
Do the Binda labelled ones all have the Binda buckle or do some of the later ones also have the winged 'C' Cinelli buckle?
Is there a difference between the binda buckle with a metal roller and the ones with a plastic roller?
Do any of the Cinelli branded straps have the Binda buckle? Do the Cinelli branded straps also have the Bianchi Dino inscription?
What about the straps with the winged 'C' Cinelli buckle and the Bianchi Dino marking?
What colors were available?
Who was Dino Bianchi?
As far as the previous comments go, I too prefer the straps that are not reinforced as I too have found that the reinforced ones delaminate quite easily.
