Notes:

There is nothing like the ride on a well built steel frame.
The black anodized and pantographed stem, seatpost and chainrings were on my wishlist in ´84
but my wallet hurt as it was from the frame alone, so I had to go with parts
I already had on hand. When they turned up on eBay 24 years later as New Old Stock
it was a no-brainer...
Also, the pedals are recently changed from old Look ones to Campagnolo Chorus.
The rest of the bike is like I built it in 1984.

It isn't obvious in the photos, but the paint job is a deep red metallic finish.

I love it. Especially the pantographed stem, post, rings, all in matching black. Very very nice. From one X-Uno owner to another....she's a beauty.

1984?

Curious how you dated the frame to 1984. I don't know anything about Chesini's serial numbers, but something about that internal cable routing, the brake levers, and the aero tubing make me think it is newer than 1984. Great looking bike nonetheless.

1984 for sure

Thanks for looking!

I don't know anything about Chesini's serial numbers either. In fact my X-Uno doesn't have one. Anyway, it's definitely 1984. My bike shop ordered it specially from the factory in Italy, since they didn't carry the X-Uno as a stock item and I still have all the paperwork.
