then I wonder why stem and seat post weren't anodized
Cinelli and other bar/stem brands starting offering black ano before the groupset brands who were responsible for the seat post in those days.
Getting your 1A in black let everybody know you could afford the extra 50p 😊
I don't recall seeing any black Cinelli bars until quite a few years after they started offering the finish on stems, I think the same applied to 3ttt and ITM.
