Any recommendations on the 26.4 Cinelli Bars? Read a few older threads and consensus was slightly towards the 64's?
That all depends on your physique and the kind of shifters you want to run. Bar width depends on shoulder width; if you're a broad shouldered guy, get some wide bars, and if you're skinny, skinny bars The drop is a matter of preference. If you want to get real deep and aero, get deep drops like the Cinelli Criterium bars, but if you like to stay a litte more upright (probably the best for a commuter bike) get some shallower ones like the Cinelli Giro d'Italia. Also, modern integrated braking/shifting levers are better suited to modern compact/ergo bars.

Have fun building that Somec, I'm building one myself now, the one [MENTION=173992]non-fixie[/MENTION] was talking about.
