Look like a "just want to look different design"
Can't see the point in reversed steerer clamp bolts particularly if the hole in front are stil open.
Rest looks a bit like enve will this also come from china or be made in the us?

"That 35mm diameter at the center means I haven’t been able to use my out-front computer mounts, but it does make things stiff. Interestingly, because the rest of the bar is big, too, it’s not immediately obvious it’s a 35mm design.
The oval shape creates a broad platform whose width runs all the way out to a sharp bend. Drop is 128mm, reach is 70mm. Available in 40, 42 and 44 cm widths (C-to-C). Retail is $375 for the bar, $325 for the stem."

Bah 35mm. Why no aero top section?
Not sure about the reversed stem bolts, seems they unnecessarily make the stem wider. I like the side profile of the stem though.
For that price, it'd better be half the weight of a 23$ Kalloy Uno 7.

Plus, why doesn't anyone ever take a side picture of the drop shape? This is more or less the only interesting view of a drop bar, and is really hard to judge from any other perspective.

Kind of wonder why it has been ok to set prices like Enve do. As far as i know, Enve stem and bar is made in China and still has a price like MCFK which is handmade in Germany. This looks a bit like Enve but with Dedas 35mm ideal.
I wonder why we don't see stems made to block out vibrations and carbon flare out handlebars.

I'd personally like Parlee to redesign their z-zero seatpost collar...current one is bulky and there is no option but to keep it to my knowledge!

They set that kind of price because a few people will pay it to have matchy-matchy on their $6000 Parlee frame. They won't sell many $700 bar/stem combos but when they do they make a large profit.
Where is the black Ti bolts??
