WANTED: Vintage Cinelli Drop Handlebars, 25.4mm...

Hi All, does anyone have a set of Cinelli drops they'd sell, with a 25.4mm clamp with traditional bend, something vintage would be great, thanks very much....

Do you mean 26.4mm?

Hi Jim, no I did mean 25.4mm clamp, I thought bars generally come in 25.4 or 26mm clamp area, unless they're over size 31.8mm, like on more modern bars?

Hi Rogel, yeah could be interested, are they black, and what brand are they please? Also, are they ergo shaped or more traditional bend? Thanks

25.4mm is the old British standard, which was adopted in the Far East.

26.0mm is the Italian standard, except for old Cinelli which were 26.4mm: they switched in the early Nineties.

So if you want 25.4mm, they'll either be old English bars (eg GB) or Japanese (eg Nitto).

If you want Cinelli, the old ones will be 26.4mm and the current, 26.0mm.

Ah right, thanks for the info, I was a planning to team the Cinelli bars with a Cinelli stem I already have. I hadn't measured the clamp area on the stem but presumably being Cinelli they'll be for 26 or 26.4mm? Time to get the vernier callipers out!

Thanks for the offer mate, but those aren't what I'm after, text me about that Dura Ace cog....
