Closest thing to a Cinelli 64-42?

[pale scotsman]

I'm looking for something just like the Cinelli 64-42 with at least a front groove, 26.0 size, and in silver. What's out there? The WCS Classic is close, but no silver. I've heard there's a Oval Concepts classic bend in silver? Not too sure if it's a shallow drop like the cinelli.

you want the Oval Concepts R700 135 Classic drop in 42cm.
i stock those in black if you change your mind.

The 64 (138mm) is closer to a modern day deep drop (140mm). There I said it, "modern day". :banana: What's wrong with the Cinelli?

A while back I asked on the list for sources for the Nitto
model 185 bars, the ones very much like the Cinelli model 64
bars. I found a local source for them: Jitensha Studio. Hirose
was in Japan at the time I placed the order so I don't know
if this added to the time it took for them to arrive, but he
can order and get them. It took about 2 months for me to get
my set. If you are a fan of the Cinelli mod 64 bars, this is the way
you'd replicate those bars with new stock. You'll have to change
the stem though. The Nitto Model 185 bars currently come
with one groove but I can live with that. Just fyi.

The Oval Classic is the bestest. I don't know if they make it in silver, but I wish they did, atmo. In fact, if they do, I'd buy one right away.

Yeah looks pretty similar, although I wonder about the reach. Many Nitto bars run kind of long, while the Ovals are standard mid 80s.
