Is it normal to include a seat-bag in a cinelli VIP ensemble? I remember seeing many VIP ensembles on ebay, but never one that included a cinelli-logo seatbag. Also, I really like the detail of the metal cinelli bag at the end of the drops, embedded in the leather, I had not seen that detail in the ensemble before !!

What kind of lever-clamps is this ensemble for? It seems like they are not for typical nuovo-record brake levers. Also, did all such VIP ensembles come with alloy rails on the saddle?
