Subject: [CR]Old style Cinelli handlebar question

Was the paint that you sometimes see on the emblems and writing of the older Cinelli handlebars, the Giro D'Italia with the Cinelli crest, done by Cinelli or was this an addition done by individual owners of the handlebars? I have seen them in red and yellow, most commonly on Paramounts. If they came from Cinelli with the color already done, was there a distinction in model number or designation of the handlebars?

Thank you.

Cheers.

Tom
