Subject: [CR]Cinelli old logo bar swap

Hello List, I want to add a period correct cinelli bar stem combo to my Chesini SSC. I have old logo bars leather wrapped with DA Brake levers. Pictures are here: http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/Drexl/Parts/old+cycling+parts001.JPG .html

As you can see the old logo bar came with a new logo stem. As the bar has leather covers I presume that this was some original factory specification. Does anybody has seen a combo like that before or did the original manufacturer just put together the parts he had at hand and then put on the leather wrap? Does anybody have experienced taking the leather off and on such a bar? Or should I just keep the combo together and look for another old logo bar for my old logo right sized cinelli stem? If anybody wants to trade the combo for a decent old logo bar and stem etc. you are welcomed to offer what you have. The Chesini is seen here: http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/Drexl/Chesini+SSC/

Any comments on or offlist are greatly appreciated.
