Saw these in person over the weekend. Great stuff!

They also had a Saetta, two Vigorelli's, and the MASH (belongs to my coworker) displayed at their booth.

65s = best handlebar shape ever.

Interesting, will the new stem and handlebars also use in the old Cinelli standard of 26.4mm diameter? Good Luck!

My understanding is that they will be 26.0 only.

Specs for the bars and stem (according to QBP):

"Criterium": 26.0 clamp, 82mm reach, 145mm drop, 40 & 42cm widths
"Giro D'Italia": 26.0 clamp, 75mm reach, 140mm drop, 40 & 42cm widths
"A1" quill stem: 26.0 clamp, 73 degrees, 100 & 110mm lengths

Can't tell if they'll offer more stem lengths or not.

I love Criterium bars, but how to they work with modern ergo levers? Seems like there might be an odd transition from ramp to hood.

[mister]

they don't work very well with newer campy 10s levers
the transition makes the levers stick to the outside of the bars before they get to a good spot

the giro bars are a little better but seriously i'm much happier with all that when i started using the oval bars

[pavel]

Is this at all necessary? They suck to use with brifters, they're not grooved, and really, an expander wedge? Seems like this is just a gimmick to get on the retro wagon.


Ten bucks says they won't be made in Italy.

edit: yeah, just checked QBP: made in Hong Kong.

Way to go, Cinelli - you're a parody of yourself.
