I have a set of the Mk1's - plain black carbon with red and silver/white graphics - PURE SEX !!!

Love looking at them on a sunny day when the light catches the weave just right

(also very comfy on and off the drops, light and strong)

Argh the price!

 

[Chrisz]

Not cheap but oh so pretty

 

[Nicensleazy]

I'm trying to resist.............

Have seen them, lusted for them but decided to stick with what works for me. Otherwise, it would be more £ on bling and with 2 x v.high end bikes and 2 x cheaper bikes, I'd really want the Cinelli x 4 which = 4 x sets of bar tape and faffing with levers/cables and 4 x bars,stems,tape in the bin or sold (too) cheap.If I only had one bike then yes I'd get them but I'd have to be happy with that fixed stem and the reach/drop measurements

? what is that at the front? is it like a radar hood?

Part of the built in stealth technology - it reduces the head-on radar profile

Or it could be just a conveinent place to mount a computer

Radius of the bend from flats to tops looks a little to large for me.

 

[Nicensleazy]

Decided to go for the straigh rams, just placed the order!

 

[longers]

What do you about taping those? Only go as far as the hoods or all the way as normal?

 

[a_n_t]

i'd go to the hoods on them. Did it on mine and I've got nothing to hide!

and while I remember, feeding the cable outers through those little holes is the BIGGEST PAIN IN THE ARSE ever. B)

Nah! Feed the inner cable through first, hook it out at the stem end and then the outer cable follows along quite easily B)
