Hello, I am looking for a new integrated handlebar .

Two that give me some confident:
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1 ... 319ijh5515
That came from this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuCW4oArpUU

And also: https://rinascltabike.com/product/integ ... handlebar/ that seems to be made by https://www.facebook.com/Shenzhen-Orge- ... 031641470/

Also I have a doubt because my actual stem is 6º, I am pretty low on my bike, near the max (I think that I have less tha 1 cm spacers...) and most of the integrated handlebars are 17º, Does exists a handlebar with same angle? 6º?

Any option ? It will be mounted on a Scott Addict rim brake.

The one is pretty good and it has been used by several famous Chinese amateur. However it's -15 deg and the stack of the stem part is only 32mm insetead of 40mm. It will be at least 15mm lower.

If you want 6 deg combo and the quality, then it will be Farsports F1. It is origin 10 deg for OD2, and has a 0/±3 deg insert for 28.6 steerer which can make it into 7 deg. However it's almost double price than the one, though it looks sexy to me, and ~ 10 g lighter.

Any English page to be able to order? That might be the exact bar I was looking for: aero, 2cm flare, narrow options (even a 36cm!), proper length, adjustable angle (-13, -10, -7).
Unsure of the validity of the stiffness test table (actually using fairewheel setup if google translated properly) especially comparing bars to bar-stem-combos... but the bars ranking seems to make sense with tests I have in mind.

No English page. I talked with manufacturer and they told me that the price will be around 299$ + shipment (85$ duty prepaid)=384$... pretty expensive I think. It looks very good quality... but...

Indeed that’s a different story, I was counting on the 256$ on the webpage

No english page so far, though they do have their wheels website in english...

If someone is interested in the stiffness, here is the test results including the one, F1, XXX and 5D, by a famous chinese guy, who purchased these stem/bar combos and set up the instruments himself.

I was responding to the OP whose only spec given was 6° (integrated, light, affordable).

For what it's worth, Solostreems don't work for me either as I want 40cm and 110mm stem length. I kinda wish I had pursued more integrated options before settling on separate bars and stem but I am still following this thread with interest.

Hello,

Now I have 42 cm PRO PLT + 110 6º PRO PLT stem... around 380-400 grams

What I noticed is that, this combo is almost as light as the supposed to be lighter and stiffer integrated handlebar... So from my point of view, what offers an integrated handlebar? I thought that it was lighter and it looks nicer... but now I think that only looks nicer...

Commercial Integrated bars have « never » been lighter and rarely stiffer and always suffered from geometry limitation.
Now they are more aero and look more integrated :)
That explains why some manufacturers go back to separate bar/stems (Trek being the first one that comes in mind)
The lighter options were more the custom made bonded combos (berk, calfee, seems Darimo offering the option).
