Hi David. The 67 is an alloy pista [track] bar similar to the 65 Criterium road model. Maybe a bit "trackier". Cinelli measured c-c, but many manufacturers measured end to end so be circumspect in chosing bars. Cheers. Billy Ketchum; Chicago, IL; USA.

I have searched the archives and the internet and have not been able to find the information that I'm looking for.  It was mentioned to me that my handlebars were very narrow.  Back in "the day" I never heard anything about measuring (fitting) handlebars.

Now, with that in mind, there was a post this morning about some Cinelli 67-39 handlebars.  The 39 is the width c-c according to the accompanying text.  What does the 67 stand for?  Are there any other numbers/measurements that I should look for/ ask about if I am inquiring about some better fitting handlebars?

 Thank you,
