Coolio's,

I have an old logo Cinelli handlebar with 3 separate knurled rings on the centre sleeve, with the classic "criterium" bend and stamped "65" on the outside end near where bar plugs would fit. Would they be "correct" for a late 60's or early 70's bike?

Whilst I have your ears ... the corresponding old logo 1A stem is stamped on the underside of the extension ...

REG N. 935128 MADE IN ITALY

with the R in Reg and the M in Made is barely discernable. Is this stamping common and when did they stop stamping?

thanks

ciao,
