Remember me ...

I have an old set of Cinelli steel bars that were mangled and not worth saving. Chroms was crap. Except for the centre portion with the excellent and way cool logo's. To amuse myself I chopped a set of japanese steel bars with a narrower diameter that fit perfectly inside the Cinelli centre portion (so that it fits like a sleeve).

Of course being the punk that I am I fashioned the bars as cow horns and brazed them in. Looks and fits perfect and will last even the heaviest rider. One day I'll get them re-chromed and I intend to post them on ebay as 1st generation, 50's, Unobtanium, Steel Old Logo Cinelli Prototype cow horns - Pista - Track - Rare !!!!!!

That will be a fun auction :)
