Can anyone recommend a comparable bar to the Cinelli 66? There aren't many traditional bend bars out there anymore and I'm not a fan of the anatomic grip. In looking on the Internet it seems that Ritchey offers a bar in a classic bend, but it's not as deep as the 66.

These come close, tho maybe not quite as deep.

Here they are installed on a bike:

deda offers classic drop bars in belgian (deep) and italian (shallow) for the 215 bars

I use the 215 deep/belgian drops

there's a good article at competitivecyclist.com about the new deda campione (absurdly priced at $400) that discusses Deda's committment to classic bend bars

as the guy above said the Oval Concept bars are highly regarded, as well as the Ritchey stuff

nitto has some great stuff also

good luck


(btw, a riding pal scored two NOS 66's, so they're out there--just hard to find)

Thanks - I just ordered some Ritchey classics. There are some 66-44cm Cinellis on eBay but that also leads to stem issues, whereas I can just bolt on the Ritcheys and ride away.

Cinelli did make 66's in 26mm diameter (instead of the old 26.4mm) for a few years. You might get lucky on ebay.

I found a pair of Top 64's 42cm wide 26mm diameter in near new condition the other week on ebay - $30 Australian delivered from the UK!!!!!!

That red frame is so hot.
