Very nice, personally I prefer the the S-Works Aerofly bars, but the 3T work and look good too.

Man... If the bars were set up properly and the saddle was level, this would be pretty alright.

Yeah. I reckon the bar needs to be tilted down a little more and shifters might have to move up a little. Yet to dial it properly as my intended bar tape has not arrived :(
Saddle is quite level with a -1 deg. The road surface prob played some tricks on the angle :D

Will take a few tries to get used to the new aerobar. the reach is quite far as compared to my usual deda bars.

What did you go for with regards to the BB? I run C-Bear in my Allez with Record cranks and it's never, ever made a sound. Same for my Tarmac actually.

The track edition is not for sale and for the athletes only. They then made 300pcs road version( so that everyone can know more about RHC. ) *i think* :)

I used the ultra torque BB30 Adapter. It should work nicely and thanks for tell me about c-bear! Another alternative!

This is one example where the 4-Arm crank actually looks really good, which imo isn't the case that often. Really nice build! Concerning C-Bear Bottombrackets, I'm currently running them on my C60 and also had them on a Spersix, both equipped with Campagnolo and never had issues with creaking noises or whatever. So I can also recommend them as a trustful solution.

a little misjudgement on my part....I took over the 3T aeronova from my team mate without checking the reach and I sort of knew it would be too long after I built the bike but still thought it is worth a try.

But I was wrong, the reach is a littttttle too long for me and I have to change it out. will go with the S-works aerofly bar this time to match the stem. this is the first time I am using the s-works stem multistem and I like it as it has different angles to play with by using the shim provided. Gives me the angle I want easily :)

All s-works components seems to be pretty cool too (seat post,stem,fork and now handlebar).

will update here soon.

And if anyone is interested - this bike comes in at a pretty good weight without any WW components! 7.05kg. It would be quite easy to get it down to 6.5. (EE, wheels, bottle cages etc) but my intention was to have a bike like this - simple in components and stiff in action. I know this bike will perform well in short hard rides for this is what it was made for!
