1984 Cinelli Unica
I have a 1984 cinelli unica. I was wanting to find out a little more about it. Specifically the tubing. It has the model 600 component group and before I paint and change out the shifters I wanted to know more. Also how do I go about finding replacement decals if I decide to have it painted. Thanks.

Since you just joined, you have to donate your bike to RobbieTunes..... (new rule)....
Otherwise, welcome to the forum. East Hill will likely be speaking to you about images.
Get some good pictures, and look up JRestore on this thread for decals. He may need photos to duplicate same.

Hi carterpark,
I'm interested to read about the Unica. Are you sure it is an '84 built frame? I wasn't aware that the Unica's came out in '84.
The tubing would have to be Columbus as the Columbus family own Cinelli. What Columbus tubing? Now that I can't answer.
Best of luck,
Gary.

It looks like a full-size Cinelli Alter stem 
Very unique. Shame on you if you repaint it. Put some Meguiars Scratch X on it and polish it up.

Almost looks like an old-timey black & white picture with touch-ups in red and blue.
The decals are quite a departure from the usual understated look that Cinelli was known for.
