I havent really looked into this or this thread, but why is this handlebar that hard to get and (more interesting) why are you/we so keen on buying one? From what I've seen its neither super light nor super cheap?
The balance of price / weight / stiffness is IMO the best out there.
But lately it's been a question of "buy from whoever has the size you need", regardless of all the above.

Ah okay!
Thanks
So another question for the Computer Mount:
Is there one supplied with the handlbar? From what I found on youtube: yes!
BUT: Does this look neat with a Garmin Edge 840? So a small computer?
I found this Titanium one (which I think is too much bling bling
)
BUT nevertheless ...
It lists: Preorder and is listed as in stock? Whats it gonna be?

there is huge demand for it in china so the rest only get scraps. OD2 compatible, well designed and still a decent bit cheaper than comparable mainstream options

Size run was actually good.
Decided against the 380-120, as I think 380-130 is a better fit.
Currently have a stem+handlebarreach combo of 212 which is a bit too long, before had a 200 which was fine I guess.
The 120 would be 190.

Anyone understands, how exactly does the EXS BF promotion work out (i.e., buy 2 R series handlebars, get 50% off the cheapest one)? Basket doesn't show any of this anywhere. Asked EXS, they've read my messages, but have apparently decided to avoid responding.

I think you are mixing up the panda podium BF EXS offer (which is as you describe). EXS website is a straight 25% discount and is shown against the product. You only need to buy 1 item.
If you want to buy from panda podium you need to click the offer link and you will get taken to a page where you chose the 2 items side by side (you can’t get it by buying them from their separate listings)
Aerover not included

I've skimmed through this thread, but not really seeing much in terms of aftermarket computer mounts. I just ordered my Aerover bars and not a fan of the stock mount as it leaves such a large gap between the bottom of the computer and the front of the bars. I'm using a Wahoo Roam II and looking for a shorter reach option. I'd also like the ability to adjust the angle to what I want instead of follow the stem angle. I see that Frames and Gear has an adjustable one, but again is very long.
Anyone have suggestions?

This Frames and Gear mount should work great

Thank you for taking the time to suggest, but I had already mentioned that the Frames and Gear mount would also be too long.

I've ordered EXS's titanium mount in Short version (as I just use a Garmin 540). I'll review it when it arrives - hopefully it places the Garmin level with the bar, something many mounts seem to struggle with......
