80€ more than a loose handlebar and stem and a couple of grams heavier. But I would still get it if I got a new set. So beautiful :D

Just installed my T2 setback seatpost and curious if any has experienced the same problem. The front bolt doesn't appear to be long enough and so I can't get my seat to be level, let along slightly upward. Anyone run into this before?
Anyone has this same issue and rectified it?
I can't seem to get my fizik Antares parallel to the ground. I'm able to get it proper for the apltitude Gardena though.

I'm in the market to purchase an ellipse di2 ready handlebar. I found this link on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224388274838. Does anyone know if "cyclingvelo" is legitimate? Are people making fake Darimo handlebars out of China?

I bought my derailleurs from them for a good price, the sellers seems legit, the bars are most like just used.

I have the T2 15mm SB. In your photo it looks to me that because of the tape that's wrapped around the saddle rails, the rails are not sitting flush in the channel of the cup. The rails are too elevated and, hence, the front yoke is too high. Here is a picture how it looks on mine with rails totally flush in the cup of the clamp

If you look at the other items the seller has for sale there are lots of those bars though, as well as other Darimo stuff (and stuff from other brands such as Look).

From the photos they appear completely legitimate however, and it's hard to see how they could have copied a Spanish-made specialist item like this so precisely.

I reckon they are just a Hong Kong based retailer selling legitimate stuff but able to undercut others due to some tax-based loophole or something.

2 years ago I tried to contact the seller to see if it was possible to purchase an item (perhaps eebrakes?) directly in HK in person but he said the prices were only for oversea market (ebay only).
So yeah it must be a tax thing.

For those that have bought unidirectional carbon components from Darimo - I see a lot of pictures in a flat/non glossy finish and they look almost grayish. I am leaning toward a gloss finish - for those that have chosen the gloss - does that appear more blackish (which I'd prefer)........by comparison the Darimo parts in flat finish is a greyish-black while the gloss 3K seems to be a "normal" blackish tint.

Another data point - I currently have 3T carbon stem/bars/seatpost in the version where you can see the carbon fabric through the clear coat (so not painted like some versions of these parts) and these too are "blackish" - I'd like to get similar with the Darimo parts.

Yes I realise this, just patiently waiting... it's not Darimo's fault by any means
