So far none of the manufacturers mentioned, except Extralite and WR Compositi, actually make anything themselves.

If it's lugged, you might want to look out for some of the original 3ttt bars & stems such as the Prima 199 bars and Forge Ahead stems. Down side is that they were only 26.0 diameter.

As for seat posts, WR, Extralite or an old Campagnolo one would fit the bill.

So I just checked out WR for the first time, and holy smoke people.. That crap is hideous. I mean seriously, i'm a bit shocked. I don't care if it's made in Italy, putting that on a classy bike is a huge mistake. Deda at least has super clean lines and visually classic logos. Uhg. Disappointing.

Cinelli Ram is very sexy. A little pricy, but stiff and looks amazing. They make a matching seatpost too

The Cinelli Neos components are not the lightest choice but very high quality construction. Ran the post, stem and bar on a Colnago C-60. Very beautiful! Heads up on the post though. Due to the semi-whacky clamp detail, it is impossible to mount a carbon railed saddle. I think it's being redesigned.....

Deda Superleggero SP is so sexy and infinitely adjustable.

My shop sells most of the above.
I rank 3T and Fizik up top for quality and ergonomics, personally.
Deda and Cinelli are close but often come in way above claimed weight, which bothers me.
Extralite is just that, but expensive and not great for durability.
WR has never impressed me.
So...my top choices:
3T Ergonova if you want an ovelized top with compact drop
Fizik if you want a more traditional looking compact shape

In the market for cockpit to C60 RSCG.

Demands
Classic looking - not alot of logos and so. Carbon. Not Zipp, 3T witch I dont like.

Looking at a 110 or 120 mm stem and 42 cm bar with a classic bend.

I would prefer 0 setback and Deda combo comes close.

Option 1
Deda Superleggera RS Stem and Bra (the 2017 model new one)
Superleggera RS (12 mm setback) in the black isch version.

Option 2
Fizik Cryano R1
Snake or Chamelion bar (I like the visual inpression of Snake but I´m a bit worried that a bigger brop bar would look to big on a 48S frame)
The seatpost is 25 mm setback and that is not the best for me. But I read somewhere that the setback can be changed from 25 to 5 mm - is that correct?
Fizik parts are abit less money.

Pair with a Asurte Skylite VT saddle I think.

Witch one do u guys think will look the best.
