Cinelli
From WikiPedalia
Major Italian manufacturer of bicycle parts and also complete frames.
Cinelli is especially noted as a manufacturer of handlebars, handlebar stems and lugs.
Practically all top-of-the-line racing bikes in the 1970s were equipped with Cinelli handlebars and stems.
Cinelli also pioneered plastic saddles for high end bikes, under the Unica name.
Cinelli was probably the first to offer "clipless" pedals, with the infamous Cinelli M71 "death cleats." These "step-in" pedals required the rider to reach down and manually release each pedal before unclipping was possible!
