Wow, 1A Stem AND Cinelli Classic Handlebars Returning


We knew that the 1A stem was being reintroduced but now we learn that the Giro D’Italia ’64 bar shaped exactly like the original with a 75mm reach and 140mm drop is also being reintroduced. And, there is more: the 1965 Criterium handlebar is also being reintroduced.

The 1A stem will be available in lengths from 90mm to 130mm.

The stem will supposedly be 26.0 to accommodate the new bars.
