I'm building my first bike and trying to make something that suitable for general road use, commuting and leisure cycling with friends. Perhaps with an eventual aspiration towards Audax at some point.
I have a Kenisis Racelight T frame (58cm) with carbon forks/headset (1 1/8") and need some relatively inexpensive drop bars and stem to go on to it. Stem length somewhere around the 10-14cm.
What would you recommend for drop bar design?
Carbon or Alu?
Should I go for oversize or standard (I have medium hand size, a 48" chest with approx 46cm joint-to-joint so I'm assuming a 46 width bar)
