Manubrio is Italian for handlebar, with Manubri being the plural. The bag is the sleeve that the handlebars used to come in (I have a few NOS handlebars from the 70's still wrapped in these sleeves). Angel has not said it outright, but I believe that he means to say that these are not Cinelli shorty fenders. I too believe that these are not Cinelli made. Cino Cinelli was always quite alert to marketing and would more than likely have written his name on anything that he made. On his full fenders, he included his name so why wouldn't he do it on the shorties? This still doesn't take away from the fact that they are nice fenders. The half fenders that he did use himself on his own bikes were never smooth, they had ridges.
