I have the same Cinelli bar, which hasn't been used in a few years, but I just reinstalled it on my Trek 626. My impression is much like Patricks. I ride at the back of the drops a lot and that bar is quite good for that. On the other hand they feel tight when I move my largish hands into the hook. But all in all a pretty good bar, but there is a reason so many of us have migrated over to noodles. Most comfortable for long rides.
