Just scored a set of Cinelli Hex bars from the 80's (I assume).

The Faggin project needs a pair of oddball bars.

These bars have to be uncomfortable, but I don't care, style before comfort, on this bike.

Has anyone heard of these things? I did not know that they even existed until last night.

Never heard of them either, google didn't turn up anything useful in my brief search, pics??

E-bay purchase. When they come in I will post pics.

They are the wackiest bars you have ever seen, the bar is a sharp hexagon in profile that terminates into a 26.4 cylinder at the top.

I think maybe Cinelli was thinking they might be stiffer or something.

On a long ride without gloves, your hands would go numb for sure.

They make no sense at all, but they are the coolest looking bars that I have ever seen!

I remember them. It was the mid to late eighties I believe. Their claim was that the hexagon shape fit in a closed fist better than a round bar for better grip. I dont recall any claims for added stiffness.

Did they come with the end plugs?
I see them on ebay from time to time and they seem to go for more than I think I'd pay for bar end plugs.
But then again if you need 'em.......
I'm guessing nothing else fits.
Nice grab though, I like stuff like that.

re: end plugs - I'm sure one could make a pair easily enough with a bit of brain storming for materials and the right tools. Though Malcolms does bring up a very good point.

btw: I cheated and went browsing to ebay's ended auctions to find the auction. Very interesting bars indeed.
