Product Description
The Nitor - Unica model 63 seatpost was released in 1963 and ran into the 70's. It was a very expensive upgrade to the Campagnolo Nuovo Record 2-pin seatpost that was the gold standard of that era. These were only ever marked Nitor, which was originally it's own individual company. Unica, known for the plastic Unicanitor saddle (which became the Cinelli Unicanitor) was it's own independent company as well. Unica and Nitor eventually merged some years before Cinelli acquired them. Subsequentially these were stock equipment on many years of the Cinelli Model B & SuperCorsa.
The clamp allowed for infinite adjustment, with easy access allen head bolts on either side of the post. Each bolt is adjusted independently, which was a plug and play solution compared to the standard post clamp's center axle with adjusting nuts on either side that requires adjusting each nut repeatedly to get the axle even. The red friction plates ensured the clamp did not slip (and look super cool!). This was a much easier solution to the hard to reach hex head bolts on the NR post.
