Cinelli Italia Handlebar 26.2-380mm Vintage Eroica Colnago R17

Cinelli's name sits on the handlebars of more Italian racing frames than almost any other. This R17 unit is a road (corsa) pattern, measured at 26.2 mm at the clamp and 380 mm across – classic Italian drop-bar geometry, made in Italy, in aluminium. It is the kind of part that ends up on a Colnago rebuild almost by reflex.

Why this Cinelli R17 stands out

• 26.2 mm clamp diameter – the Italian standard stem interface, not the French 25.0 or 25.4 mm.
• 380 mm width – a compact, racing-oriented measurement, narrower than a typical touring or randonneur bar.
• Aluminium construction, made in Italy – a material and origin combination typical of period Corsa equipment.
• Oxidation: No – the part has not been flagged with oxidation.

Caratteristiche tecniche

If you are chasing a different measurement for a matching build, our AVA 380-21.8 mm racing handlebar shares the 380 mm width but uses a different clamp. Restorers working on a French frame often turn to the 25.4 mm aluminium handlebar in 395 mm instead, and the wider Wolhauser 400-26.4 handlebar suits builds that need a touch more leverage.

The photos shown here form an integral part of the description. Beyond them, expect only the usual cosmetic marks and light traces of age consistent with a stored vintage part – no oxidation, no cracks, no bends have been noted.

Our wider bicycle part selection covers drivetrain and cockpit components for period-correct projects, and the story behind the shop explains how these parts are sourced.
