italian Unicanitor copy?
Found this at the co-op the other day - looks almost like a Unicanitor. I couldn't find a matching Cinelli Unicanitor on Velobase, so I'm guessing it's a copy. The sides have been rubbed off, so I can't see any brand/writing. Does anyone recognize this, or know possible Unicanitor copy brands?

That's sans-cover, right? I know my Windsor Super Carrera had a Mexican copy of a Unicantor.
I still have the saddle; I'll check the pan for you.

I had coule of unicanitor saddles usually u can fin a print under the saddle that says in a small oval cinelli milano and in a bigger oval saying UNICANITOR BREVETTATA MADE IN ITALY.
The rail shape is also diferent from the one I have now.

also I can provide you with more pics.

I personally don't think it looks that much like a Unicanitor. Flares too much front to back, and has that seam.

doesn't look very much like a Unicantor to me either. Italy produced a lot of trashy bike parts before they gave up

It certainly seems pretty trashy after riding on it. I'm guessing now that it was a Unicanitor style copy, and probably a bad one.
