Sometime in the l980's, I think, Cinelli made a handlebar labeled "68" and "TOUR." The bend is similar to 63 and 66, but the reach is about half a centimeter longer than the 63 and the drop is between the 63 and 66. This bend does not appear in any of my old Cinelli catalogs; I've only seen three--two of which I sold and the third is on one of my own bikes. TOUR for Tour de France? Chris the tourist?
