To be fair, I think the weight of the aero bar is quite reasonable. I’ve not ridden them, but in hand they feel stiff as a stiff thing. Not aware of any other aero bar that is much lighter (except the bontrager xxx, but that isn’t really ‘aero’, and is pretty flexy). The seat post is an anchor, I agree.

I've these and have to admit that they don't flex at all while sprinting. Alas and I'm far from feather weight series!da123 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 10:21 amTo be fair, I think the weight of the aero bar is quite reasonable.

Btw on the build. The ritchey stem matches 1 1/4"? Or did you get conversion kit for the fork to adapt stem?
Don’t think there is a conversion kit - you can’t shrink the fork diameter presumably??Vermu wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 12:00 pmI've these and have to admit that they don't flex at all while sprinting.

It is a 1 1/4. Came out at 118 with ti bolts for a 110 which I thought wasn’t bad.
True it's other way around on stems. But still 118g isn't bad comparing that extralite goes to for 83g and the difference is neglible.da123 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 12:09 pmDon’t think there is a conversion kit - you can’t shrink the fork diameter presumably??Vermu wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 12:00 pmI've these and have to admit that they don't flex at all while sprinting.

I certainly hope it’s not as bendy as the extralite. I’m no powerhouse, but found the Roadstem too flexy for me. Very little choice with a 1 1/4 steerer though. The Ritchey was the lightest I could find.Vermu wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 2:23 pmTrue it's other way around on stems.

The weight of those bars are pretty spot on with my Alabarda's though mine could be lighter by a drip minus the paint. Nice bike btw....looking forward to seeing it built.da123 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 10:21 amTo be fair, I think the weight of the aero bar is quite reasonable.

Having said all that, I think the aero bars on my Madone are apparently around 290g. I find them stiff enough - not solid, but plenty for a 65 kilo weakling.jimaizumi wrote: ↑Wed Mar 14, 2018 9:35 pmThe weight of those bars are pretty spot on with my Alabarda's though mine could be lighter by a drip minus the paint.

I have the previous (2013) Ultimate CF SLX. Has been a great bike. This one has come about due a psycho who deliberately drove into me as I cycled up his inside... The SLX survived the impact, although I almost didn’t. The insurance payout is funding this build...
In fact, tans look good almost on any bike, especially if it has a lot of black A mean looking machine you've got there!
Will full build list be posted as well?
