I was reading this post, and found this "
With the Scatto my setup looks like this. I do not need to use spacers nor flip the stem upwards to make the bike UCI legal, like I did with Alpina bars (I have the 3T Arx Team stem, 6 degrees, 120mm). I can still do that if the position feels too aggressive. So I thing the Scatto gives me a bit more wiggle room to modify my setup"
What kind of uci rule is he talking about?
The grip area of the handlebars cannot be lower than the top of the tire.
Scattos are shallow drop bars. If he has a stem in the negative (down) position and use deep drop bars like the Dolan/Alpina Sprint bars, then they would be so low that the grip area will be under the tire line. So, he had to flip the stem to the upward position to raise the bars.

I honestly forgot. Maybe someone else knows and will answer?
