Cinelli bars - options please

[TGR]

Evening all,

Could anyone recommend me a set of Cinelli bars which are single grooved. Preferably something special but not totally mad prices.

Thanking you ,

Richard

Regarding above, I have to presume that leather wrapped bars will not work well with single grooved bar?

Opinions please.

Leather is fine with a single groove but not the twin groove

I think Cinelli did the Giro d'Italia and Champione del Mondo (spelling?) with a single groove........nice straight top to the bars and plenty of positions "on the tops" to relieve cramps / boredom.

All IMHO of course )

Leather also looks good on women

Correct Shaun,

Cinelli made both with a single groove, I have several single groove Giro bars (my favourite Cinelli bend).

Spelling...Campione Del Mondo (no 66 bend), selling mine, with numerous other nice items at the cyclejumble on Saturday.

you need to know if the ferrule is 26.4 (older cinelli only) or 26.0 mm (highly compatible with most other stems) before you consider width /shape and grooves

Thanks all,

I am waiting for the stem to return from a much needed holiday before i purchase.

I've just swapped the Cinelli bars on my Raleigh Banana to the original ITM ones.

So I've got a Cinelli Criterium 65-42 single groove unpainted, and a Cinelli XA 130 mm in black.

If you're interested I can take pics.
