i was under the impression that an upright-style
bar from cinelli existed and i finally saw one:



can anyone tell me the model/name of this bar?

...and does anyone have one with which they would part?

Some years ago, I had a similar style alloy bar made by Nitto, don't know if they are still available. edit: several available from Velo Orange https://www.velo-orange.com/haandst.html

Cinelli stem, doesn't mean that it is a Cinelli bar. Cinelli had a steel one piece stem/bar/brake lever combo that was that shape in the late 50's early 60's but I have only seen a picture.

i knew someone would say that... the bars are cinelli,
but i wasn't able to get a macro shot with my mobile camera.

...in my internet research i saw that one piece job:

Is the bar shown in the photo mounted upside-down in relation to the clamp sleeve logo?

I seem to make out the logo sitting at the underside of the sleeve.

For sure it looks to be mounted upside down,,,

yes ...its is upside down.

Cinelli Priest, designed 1980 on demand of Pope John Paul II for his white Colnago.
True, I swear by the lord!
Very rare though.

Could they be bullhorns mounted backwards? This discussion gave me the lightbulb.

You did not believe [me], son?

O.K.,
look HERE for "priest bars" in general
... and ...
look HERE for another example of this "Cinelli Priest" model.

C?

i also found a link confirming the pope/colnago
story in connection with the priest bars:

"...the Pope requested a sports type bike with regular
flat handlebars so we built him one, a white one."
