Mostly

Also, don't forget integrated handlebars already have a stem built in so you need to consider the weight of bars and stem

im thinking about getting the Pro Stealth EVO Monocoque because they are cheaper than most of the ones people have suggested lol

carbon bars.... what a waste of money...

It's the profile I like. Can you get ally bars with that flat section?

Yes. FSA Wing.

Yes. FSA Wing.

Ta - I didn't know that. Only £55 too.

Two interesting things:
- the aluminium version is stated to be 15% heavier than the equivalent FSA carbon.
- Jenson USA charge £176.20 for them in 40 and 44cm, but £237.33 for 42cm (just because that is the most popular size!). Definitely someone to avoid.

yeh some ones will be heavier...


you got a link to the fsa wing, cant seem to find it...

 

[ASC1951]

I just put "fsa wing flat top bars" into Google Chrome.

 

[mr-marty-martin]

they dont look that flat tho...

 

[MadoneRider1991]

carbon bars just look alot nicer though

Go on the Planet-X website and have a look in their Big 500 sale and you'll find the alloy FSA Wing Pro's are currently selling at £15 for the black ones or £35 for the white.

I think they're £60-odd at Wiggle and the carbon K-wing's are £150-odd...

Seems a lot to save 20-odd grammes...
