Citoyen du monde, where did you get the information that Cinelli changed hadns in 78?
Cinelli's website states 1978:

Andrea Cinelli, the son of Cino has confirmed the 1978 date to me.
There are countless articles from the late 70's that confirm the 1978 date.
The corporate registry of Milan confirms the 1978 date.
The change of logo to the winged "C" took place in 1978, much to the chagrin of Cino who did not like it.
