I'm intrested in "the One" or equivilent, coze I really like the fact that you dont have to refit and rebleed brakes when changing. Anyone else have some experience?

Interested in FarSports The One bar, as Factor seem to be totally out of stock.

Has anyone actually got one?

I ordered The One in 38cm and 120mm three weeks ago for my Caad12 build.

Looking forward to test it out. For the money it ticks all the boxes for me as I'm not a sprinter.
Should be in my hands next week. Will post some pictures if anyone is interested.

would definitely be interesting
Still looking for a light and affordable alternative to the BMS ICS Carbon cockpit, as they (BMC) still can't deliver a black version.
Interested in buying Carbonsport Lightweight wheels with broken spokes.

I just received my 'The One' and it came in at 330g for a 400/100. Garmin mount not included. Waiting for my EPS12 to show up. Another month or two.

Where did you order yours and how do you like it? Also, which version did you order as there seems to be newer and older version, older version being -15 degrees angle and newer being -10 degrees. I'm interested in this -10 degree version.
Mind snapping a few pictures?

Sure, but I will have to remember to take them.

I have not installed it yet, waiting for my EPS12 to show up. I believe it was the 15 degree version, at least I hope so.

I got mine from aliexpress and it turned up as -10 which I was a bit surprised about because I had only seen -15. I never used these because the bike I was going to put it on got totalled in a crash between ordering and delivery, so these are the photos I took for the selling ad. It looked and felt quality. I had another cheaper set which I had used before, they actually looked very similar but this one had notably chunkier bits around the stem would have given me much more confidence when torquing up the stem bolts.

Hi,

I forgot to take photos on it when i recieved it but I can add some later on.
I ordered it from here: shorturl.at/fABH6

38c/120mm came in at 333g. It definately feels like a premium product in terms of finish and quality.

I test rode it today after cutting the steerer tube on my Caad12. I'm very impressed by the stiffnes. I previously had a Zipp Sprint SL paired with aerofly bars and this feels much stiffer while it dampens road vibrations. I'm in the process of switching out my Ultegra 6800 groupset for Red 22 so I have removed the bar tape and it still felt very comfortable on the hoods/drops without bar tape.

I have ordered this headunit mount but have not recieved it yet: shorturl.at/egrxG

Has anyone found the -10 degree version of "The One" for purchase? Only finding -15 on aliexpress.
