Shallow drop bar for an early 80's Bianchi
I am in search of a shallow drop bar for my early 80's Bianchi. It currently has a Cinelli 66-44, and it is a little too deep for my fit on this bike. Also, would prefer a 42.
Any recommendations of something from the same period?

They're both modern, but Velo Orange and Soma both have compact drop bars available in silver with 26.0mm clamp diameters

Try a Cinelli 64-42 , Giro D’Italia. Shallower than the 66 and my favorite bar (handlebar that is). Most are 26.4 diameter so will also work with what I suspect is your Cinelli 26.4 stem.

Thanks, I think I have had that Giro bar on a previous bike. That is the drop and reach that I am looking for.

Nitto B65LL, if you can find one. Great classic style bar with shallower than usual drop for that era.

I ride 64-38 bars. If I liked 'em a little wider, I would bid on this:
cinelli stem and 64-40 bars on ebay
My 3ttt grand prix bars are just like my 64-38 bars. I've also had phillipe franco italia bars that are nearly identical. I think those are the D352 model.

Per old Cinelli data, measurements:
66-156 drop, 90 reach
65-147 drop, 77 reach
64-142 drop, 78 reach
63-147 drop, 76 reach
Probably in MMs but on quite sure, or how they are measured. Gives you comparison between their models though.

@Thalia949 If I'm correct 949 is your area code in the OC
I have some cinelli 64-40 drop bars you can have for the price of shipping. I believe they're 26.4 nar clamp.
