IIRC, the Dream bar had more reach and drop than the 64, which was much
closer to the NItto 185 which I love and use. Funny, the lack of flat ramps
-- for yes, the 64s and the 185s and their ilk have very short and steep
ramps -- doesn't bother me at all.
I never tried the Dream -- was that the sa

The Cinelli's anyway do not have as flat ramps as the Noodles. Can't
quite tell from the photos but think it is the same with the Dreams.
As it happens, I have a fine old Cinelli handlebar. If I decide to
hang the bike from the ceiling after I finish, then I will use it.
In any event, I am goi
Thanks all. Very glowing reviews. Definitely going to give the Dreams
a try.
Depending on painter schedule, I should have this together by July or
so. Look for Cyclofiend current classic shots thereafter.

I have dream bars on the Rambouillet and like them a lot. I like the
flatter ramps of the noodle but prefer the "no backsweep" of the dream
bars.
I don't recall older Italian bars having ramps as flat as dream or
noddle bars...but I could be wrong.

Hey Joel.
I know some of the classic Cinelli bends have a following, but the Dream has
a MUCH better shape IMHO. It gives a nice flat ramp to the hoods, unlike
any vintage bar I can think of. The Noodle is flatter, but not as
traditional.

I can't say whether they are updated renderings of 3T or Cinelli bars,
but I use them on all my bikes and prefer them by far to the Noodles.
