Berk PROTO-TYPE Composites

Sharp. Very sharp.

This thing looks awesome!
Since it is so light can you give as some info on its stiffness? How is it in comparison to a classic combo from Ritchey, Itm, Deda etc. ?

SRP looks extremely nice. BIG thumbs-up for offering a 1-1/4" steerer option.

Do you or can you build it with 2 M5 threaded inserts on the bottom of the stem, to allow for Garmin mounts like so:
Or, is the round part next to the stem 31.8mm in diameter for normal mounts like K-Edge?
Is it compatible with clip-on aero bars?

He built this for me so I would assume its possible. I think he would have to comment though

[burglarboycie]

That's a beautiful combo

[caballero]

Hey berk. Can you produce an Srp with a 1" steerer clamp ?

[sugarkane]

how about a couple of 7mm holes in each side of the bars Jure so you can run my bar end junction box?

Thanks for the compliments!
And sorry for my late answer!

First of all it's much lighter otherwise regarding the stiffness - it's stiffer than Deda Superleggera handlebar or 3T Aeronova, but not as stiff as a PRO Stealth EVO handlebar.

an Srp with a 1" steerer clamp ?

It would be possible to mould it for 1" on request, but the external diameter would stay the same (the look/width of the stem).

It is of course also possible that we make a plate like we did for @coppercook62, but the plastic small parts still have to be from an original holder

Just some more photos, our concept saddle, we are testing it already quite long and maybe we'll offer it to the public.

It's our lightest saddle, we are working to make it the most WW saddle without any sacrifice on the comfort.

Very nice
what is the weight ?

[jever98]

Quick post to say that Berk's Lupina is not only comfy (to me), but also very solidly made, especially despite the low weight: I "abused" mine a bit with a week's bike packing, lugging a big saddle pack (about 3kg) around, without any complaints from the saddle:


Looking forward to getting more Berk parts in the future

Just ordered my combo last week and now this [emoji29]

[Berk]

Thanks for the compliments!
We want to make it under the 60g as much as possible.

@Kayrehn
if you would like to change anything please drop us an email, thanks!

Awesome! You don't even need to get off the bike to go to the bathroom!!

Seriously though that is awesome. The larger the cutout, the more comfy I am on saddles. That's very nice!
