I've wanted to fine-tune this bike for a long time. The old two-bolt panto post was limiting in that it doesn't really invite one to play around with saddle positions!
The modern, one-bolt Super Record post is my fave and finally I found a pantographed one recently to cap off my flagship Colnago.
The Hi-Low hub has been exclusive to this bike since the early 2000s. Except for Cino 2014, it's never worn another pair of wheels since the Hi-Low was built up and designated for this bike. I'm the kind of guy who doesn't swap wheels between bikes
You know you are among C&V friends when you can refer to a Super Record post as "The Modern"...
The seatpost, stem and bar are the constants of my 1989 Master Piu. I bought the post and stem used back then and they have been on the bike all the time. And I too believe them to be "modern".
