Also did some work on the stem and bars. The stem is a Pro LT and they come in that cheap matte black 'structured' finish that tells you it's a cheap stem. Inspired by the polished black Zipp stems, I decided to paint it. Base coat, 4 layers of black, wet sanding in between and 2K gloss varnish to finish. Looks a lot better in my opinion.
As told before I've also ditched the chinese carbon bars and swapped them for a pair of Bontrager VR-CF alu aero bars with internal routing. Same story with the film finish, so also here a layer of gloss clearcoat. You can see the difference clearly at the stem clamp area, which I obviously masked.
The outfront Wahoo mount also got sprayed to get the same finish as the cockpit.
First pictures is stock finishing (not my stem).
