This leads to IMO a dilemna. The main vintage Cinelli bars were the Model 64 (Giro d'Italia) and the Model 66 (Campione del Mundo). I feel the 66 is too deep, but it allows a rather flat top ramp. The 64 is less deep, but to get the drop grips at the right angle the top ramps slant down too much for me. I find a lot more variety and a better personal fit in the Nittos. Right now I'm using a Randonneur, a Noodle, and a B115, and all have a fairly open but not too deep bend.
