Well, the Cinelli rep at NAHBS, when I was there, anyway, was a C&V fan, and looked about the same age as my bikes. The bars and the stem got a lot of attention at the show. He's either on C&V or Velospace, because when I mentioned the Cinelli Centurion, he described the two that I've re-done/rehabbed.....
I run Cinelli stems/bars on all but 1 of my bikes, and will switch that over, eventually. The price is the price, and I'll probably pay it. The bars fit my hands, and the stems come with the bars, at 26.4....
I think all the new ones are 26.0, but I'm surely not sure.
