Hi all,

I'm aware of the difference in Cinelli stems: old 'oval' logo till around 1978, new logo from then on. But what about the engravings on the handlebars themselves? I have seen or own(ed) bars with the 'knights crest' ('Cinelli Milano') on the right and 'Campione del Mondo' or 'Giro d'Italia' on the left. I also have one that has two knight crests, right and left. It has the criterium shape (65). It does seem to have a sligtly higher polish to it than the others. Does anyone know how this one fits into the timeline?
